The original Eugene Stoner prototype model of the AR-10. This model was built before the original M16 models based on using the 7.62x51mm NATO rounds used in the M14 rifle of that time. Unlike the AR-15 and later AR-10 models, this model is fully-automatic. It was used as an all purpose weapon able to be carried as an infantry rifle, a belt fed machine gun, a sniper rifle, or a grenade launcher. It is most easily identified by its top mounted charging handle under the carry handle. Later models would incorporate the M16 type charging handle. | The original Eugene Stoner prototype model of the AR-10.
