Why are the AR-15 style rifles the most popular weapon being sold in the
USA today?

.....

Because they “play the part”. Light and accurate.

Though I consider my Steyr AUG a superior weapon, nobody wants one of those Star Wars looking things. But the ease of disassembly and barrel interchange is attractive if you wanna be “tactical”. I like it...

But the AR is “Made in USA “ and the platform for a host of different cartridges. And they look way cool compared to an AK-47/74

Anyhow, back to the Steyr...

I have an IWI Tavor that, to me, looks nicer and is more ergonomic:
