The ArmaLite AR-7 Explorer designed by M-16 inventor Eugene Stoner is a semi-automatic .22 Long Rifle rifle developed from the AR-5 adopted by the U.S. Air Force as a pilot and aircrew survival weapon. Its intended markets today are backpackers and other recreational users as a takedown utility rifle. The AR-7 is often recommended by outdoor users of recreational vehicles (automobile airplane or boat) who might have need for a weapon for foraging or defense in a wilderness emergency.
