The Smith & Wesson M&P15-22 is a .22 LR variant of the Smith & Wesson M&P15. In contrast to the original AR-15 it is blowback-operated rather than direct impingement. It is intended for recreational shooting (plinking) and hunting. It is made with a polymer upper and lower receiver rather than the aluminum that is normally used in AR-15s. Its proprietary magazines are also polymer. The handguards are also polymer and feature quadruple Picatinny rails.
