"AR-15 style"... Can't you just say the weapon name instead of labeling these all after one type of model? There's a reason they have names, you know so people can describe what they are talking about aka the fundamentals of language.

There are a LOT of guns which are exactly AR-15s but not from Armalite/Colt. So they aren't AR-15s. They are AR-15 style guns.

I don't really think it's more communicative to say PA-15 if it's one particular brand. Then many people won't know what it was at all.

I don't see what's wrong with this.

Well calling it "the most widely owned sporting rifle in America" doesn't get fear clicks for ad revenue does it?
