A few days ago I shared some news that the Eurovision song from Israel would be named “Your land is mine now” to later realize it was from an onion kind of website, lol.
I hope I’m not alone in this kind of f’up.

Was the JR15 mentioned above a real gun? I have a hard time imagining a functioning rifle chambered in 5.56 that would be small enough for a child to handle. And AR15s aren’t that big; a young teen can handle them fairly easily.
I guess my point is that the AR frame is about as small as you can make a functioning 5.56 rifle anyway. You could put a shorter barrel on it, maybe lighten the stock, but now you’ve just made a carbine. The upper isn’t getting any smaller… so what’s “JR” about it?
Scaling an AR down so it just looks like one, but is chambered in something shorter like .22 short… I guess you could call it a JR15. Seems like a cheap cop-out, since that upper is the defining feature of the AR15. Although a guess there are derivations chambered in Blackout, Grendel and so on, and they’re all considered based on the AR platform.
Hence, my assumption it was a toy.
Apparently it’s a .22 “long”.

LOL I guessed at the caliber. .22 long isn’t much longer than short, in the grand scheme of things.
What a crazy development.
There’s conversion kits for regular 5.56 AR to .22lr too. It’s just a bolt and mag change, cmmg sells the “good” ones. Pretty popular choice for plinkers too!
This Jr-15 is injection molded btw, gotta be light af. And it’s made by Schmid of Schmid Tools which is actually pretty cool, they make some good shit. The site for wee1 is down though so while they were at SHOT idk if the product is live or ever will be.
