ep armory 80% polymer
may end up going AR40 though as I have a ton of 40s&w ammo and 9mm is getting pricey around here. |
If we follow this weird "AR9" and "AR40" nomenclature, then I guess you guys call a traditional AR15 an "AR223" or "AR556?" And don't you guys get all confused by an AR10? Is it an "ARCreedmoor" and "AR308" too?
The industry (as far as I know) calls them a Pistol Caliber Carbine (PCC). Just call it a "PCC" for a 9mm because that's what the majority are, and perhaps if you're building an oddball 45ACP PCC I'd personally use "a PCC in 45ACP." Even "PCC-45" would be better. |
AR308 is technically called an AR10 because it was named by Armalite themselves; ONLY for the 308, well, the 762 NATO version.
It's just nomenclature that exists in almost every category. Might be a pet peeve of yours, but it's definitely easy to remember (excluding the AR10 and 15) and quicker to say than, for example, this is my AR-15, but in 9mm. OR, this is my AR9.
