“There’s not a veteran in the world,” Kerry said, who hunts deer with “an AR-16.”

Or an AR-20 gauge

Kerry is half right right there. But it has nothing to do with the magazines which he is implying.

The AR-16 was briefly marketed in the early 1960s but never entered full production due to a lack of sales. There was very little interest in the design, as most NATO member states were in the process of adopting the 5.56×45mm cartridge, and countries that were still using 7.62×51mm were largely satisfied with the FN FAL. In order to adapt to the changing market, ArmaLite redesigned the weapon in 5.56 x 45mm; this evolved into the ArmaLite AR-18.

Plans were made for several variants of the standard AR-16, including a civilian sporting rifle. Ultimately, only a carbine variant was ever made as the 51mm didn’t sell especially when NATO recommended the sales of the 45mm.

So in his normal stupid way of saying things that mislead people, he’s half right and tried to be. Same old liar!!!

That’s because there isn’t an AR16, Kerry!
