You obviously have no idea what your talking about.
This is hilariously ironic, given that it is
you who doesn't know what he's talking about.
No *beep* the "A" in AR stands for Armalite, but if you did your homework instead of looking like an idiot, you'd know that the CAR 15 5.56mm assault rifle was produced by Colt Co. in the 60's, which had taken over from ArmaLite. Colts first two models produced after the aquisition were the model 601 and 602. Even though they were clones of the AR-15, they were stamped CAR-15/property of US government .223 , with no reference to them being M-16's, which would later be adopted by the US AIr Force.
No, simple fellow, the 601 and 602 were not stamped "CAR-15". The 601 was stamped "COLT ARMALITE AR15", and the 602 was stamped "COLT AR-15".
This is a picture of a 601:

http://bpullignwolnet.dotster.com/retroblackrifle/sitebuilder/images/BRI-22-600x480.jpgColt never stamped "CAR-15" on anything; that was just a marketing term they used for a while; it referred to a category of rifles and carbines, not to any specific one. Colt soon dropped the "CAR-15" marketing and later resurrected it to refer to carbine versions of the AR-15 (again, not any specific one; but rather, all of them as a group).
So yes, the M14 was replaced by the CAR-15.
Yes and no. The 601 and some of its successors were marketed by Colt as being in the CAR-15 family, but as I said, they never stamped "CAR-15" on any of them, and the military didn't refer to them as "CAR-15" either.
Stick to Call of Duty son, because you have no business talking about something you nothing about....boy! You shame the memory of one of the best punk rock bands of the 80's by calling yourself RodneyAnonymous. In this case, Jack @%# would be more appropriate!
More comical irony from you.
By the way, with regard to the carbines in this movie: they had 14.5" barrels and ordinary M16A1 "birdcage" flash hiders. There is a closeup shot of Barnes changing his magazine while he's hunting Elias, and it says on the side of the magazine well that it was made in the Philippines under license from Colt, which means it was a Model 653P. These were never issued by the U.S. military (though the regular made-in-Hartford Colt Model 653 saw limited US military use, but it was after Vietnam), so their appearance in this movie is an error. They are very similar to the later M4; they are basically an A1 version of the M4 carbine (early M4s were A2-based; current ones are A4-based).
I don't dance, tell jokes or wear my pants too tight, but I do know about a thousand songs.
