The AR-15 style rifles are made in the USA by at least dozen large companies, such as Armalite, Bushmaster, Colt, FN Manufacturing, Hesse, Les Baer, Olympic, Wilson Combat, and by number of smaller companies …" Read on (images and text copyright of http://world.guns.ru)

The
Minimi light machine gun was developed by the famous Belgian company FN Herstal,
in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Mass production began in 1982 in Belgium, and
