Actually AR-15 is Armalite, others call them everything but Ar-15 because they don't want to infringe of Armalites copyright.All sorts of manufacturers call them everything but AR-15's. I guess AR-15 is less of a brand but more a term for any semi-auto rifle based on the M-16 platform.
As you stated, "Ar-15" refers to any rifle based on Stoners Ar design, in the same way Kleenex refers to any bugger rag, and not the Brand name Kleenex.
