Should we refer to our 15-22 as an AR 15-22 or M&P 15-22? I personally don't say that I have an AR 15-22. I always call it a Smith & Wesson Military and Police 15-22. Am I being too nitpicky?

I don't call mine "Military and Police" because, unlike my M&P 9c, the Military and Police have probably never used a 15-22. I understand why they call it that, because the design is the same as the M&P 15, but still. I do call it an M&P sometimes, because many people don't know what that stands for anyhow. ;)
 
I have read here in other threads that a few police depts have bought them for initial training on an AR platform for officers. I have no way of knowing this true or not, just saying I have seen people say that here.

Gee, what does Smith and Wesson call it? It's an M&P 15-22; there's no "AR" anywhere in the name. Most people here just call it a 15-22 because there's no other firearm with that designation.

I don't know anyone who uses the long form of M&P. :)
 
15-22 or m&p 15-22.

its not an ar even if it is modeled after one. if i had a ar conversion then i would call it something like that maybe.
 
I call it a 15-22... when i have to explain to people that don't know guns I explain its a 22 on a AR platform... then they get a better idea.

I thought it was "boom stick"? ...from "Army of Darkness"? I think....oh well.

This... is my BOOMstick! The 12-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about $109.95. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel... and a hair trigger. That's right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart.

:D

Only native americans and indigenous aboriginal tribes should be allowed to use such a term. :D
 
Well neither the 15 or the 15-22 are ar's anymore according to the S & W website they are Modern Sporting Rifles :D a less scary title to the uninformed. So we have the MSR M & P 15-22 but I just call her sweet thang ;)
 
when speaking to people that know what it is, i refer to it as my 15-22

when speaking to someone that may not know what it is i say its an AR-15 style 22.
 
I call it 15-22. Pretty much everyone I know already knows that it's a Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22. It just how if you say 10/22 everyone already assumes a Ruger 10/22.

I wouldn't call it an AR15-22 because to me that is a standard AR15 with a either a dedicated 22LR barreled upper or one with a 22LR conversion kit.
