I have removed the reference to the beltway "sniper" killings and removed the disputed tag. the xm-15 comes in more than one cartidge and can be converted to more than half a dozen others. the m16 family of rifles is based on the ar-15. the xm-15 is based on the ar-15. yes, the xm-15 utilizes advancements made in the development of the m16/m4 such as m4 feed ramps, the rapidex sight, heavy buffer, etc. it is not a machine gun. there is no reason to compare this to a machine gun. -nitrogensixteen

I've switched the user manual over to a mirror site (Stevespages.com) because the link you used just gave me a page not found and I couldn't find the 1999 manual revision you used on Bushmaster's site. Also, the link you provided for the lawsuit shows it wasn't really about the gun so much as the dealer; looking into it, the actual allegation was that the gun store, Bull's Eye Shooter Supply, was extremely dodgy (missing paperwork for around 200 firearms, including the one used in the attacks) and that Bushmaster should have realised that and stopped supplying them. While the ATF / BATFE did find that Bull's Eye Shooter Supply was catastrophically poorly run and revoked the owner Brian Borgelt's Federal Firearms License, the actual lawsuit was settled out of court for $2.5 million (which Bushmaster only paid a fifth of), so it's not correct to say Bushmaster was found negligent. Herr Gruber ( talk) 17:06, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
Bushmaster has called some of their XM-15 rifles "Dissipators". According to this website, "A “dissipator” or “dissy” is an AR-15 with a 16″ barrel but with rifle length front sight post." And "Bushmaster came out with the first civilian AR-15’s actually called the Dissipator which had shaved-down gas blocks at the normal carbine length and then a “dummy” A2 sight block up in front at the rifle position." I see it included in the name of some of their products, as they appear in buying guides, etc. [1] Particularly the "Bushmaster XM15 E2S Dissipator Carbine". Are thse sources incorrect? If not, let's include a mention of the "Dissipator" variants. Felsic2 ( talk) 22:38, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
There are hundred, if not thousands, or references to the use of a Bushmast XM15 by the Beltway sniper. [2] That includes hundreds of references in books. [3] We can't just pretend that history doesn't exist. Felsic2 ( talk) 14:38, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
I have provided many sources that show the Bushmaster rifle is frequently referenced as having been the weapon used in the Beltway Sniper shootings. Those mentions are even in books and articles that are about very different topics, including novels. Also including foreign language sources. Many of these sources don't mention other guns or other crimes. One even refers to the gun itself as being "infamous". That clearly qualifies as having "notoriety greatly increased". Because of your concern about weight, I'll leave out the part about the lawsuit. Once the article gets longer we can revisit that issue. Felsic2 ( talk) 18:09, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

June 07, 2003|Jean Guccione | Times Staff Writer http://articles.latimes.com/2003/jun/07/local/me-jcc7 Authorities have also traced the Bushmaster .223-caliber semiautomatic assault rifle allegedly used by John Allen Muhammad and Lee Malvo in the three-week rampage that left 10 people dead and three wounded around Washington, D.C., last fall to the same Tacoma gun store. The gun industry is striking back by pushing for federal legislation aimed at wiping out those lawsuits, which it contends are frivolous. If the law passes, then gun dealers such as Bull's Eye would be granted immunity from the lawsuits.
By Stephen Hunter October 25, 2002 https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/2002/10/25/the-bushmaster-xm15-a-rifle-known-for-its-accuracy/52e537a2-4e19-4bad-b732-db4f8183973d/ And it is allegedly the weapon of choice of the suspects in the sniper case. From its serial number, the manufacturer, Bushmaster Firearms of Windham, Maine, has identified the rifle -- recovered from a car occupied by the two suspects in the case and linked by authorities to 11 of the 13 shootings -- as an XM15 A3 M4, one of 14 varieties of .223-caliber semiautomatic rifle it makes. The M4 designation signifies that the weapon is a close match to the duty firearm of the U.S. military, and the A3 signifies that its carrying handle may be removed to facilitate the mounting of a telescopic or electronic sight.
Kevin Johnson, USA TODAY The primary weapon used in the Connecticut school massacre — a semiautomatic assault rifle — has a history in high-profile incidents of gun violence in the U.S. The .223-caliber Bushmaster rifle also was the weapon of choice in the 2002 Washington-area sniper shootings, which left 10 dead and three wounded in a series of attacks that terrorized the capital region. The gun, weapon analysts say, has a reputation for easy handling and deadly accuracy.

Posted on May 5, 2016 by Erica Daniels http://www.thenationaltriallawyers.org/2016/05/gun-lawsuit-sandy-hook/ Before the passage of the PLCAA, gun maker Bushmaster, a defendant in this class, was sued by two survivors and the families of six victims from the Washington sniper shootings in 2002. They settled the case for $2.5 million.
December 26, 2012 By Sharon http://www.adiosbarbie.com/2012/12/the-sandy-hook-tragedy-masculinity-and-the-expectation-of-violence/ Since 1999, products from Bushmaster have been linked to 28 deaths from mass and spree shootings, including the 10 people murdered by Beltway Snipers John Allen Muhammed and Lee Boyd Malvo in 2001 and 2002. Like Lanza, Muhammed and Malvo preferred the .223 caliber option.
12/16/2012 08:06 pm ET | Updated Dec 16, 2012 John Rudolf Janell Ross http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/12/16/school-shooter-adam-lanza_n_2312818.html Most notoriously, a Bushmaster .223 rifle was used by the so-called Beltway snipers, John Allen Muhammed and Lee Boyd Malvo, who murdered 15 people in 2001 and 2002. In 2004, Bushmaster settled a lawsuit brought by families of the Beltway victims, which alleged that the company failed to take precautions to ensure that its guns did not fall into the hands of criminals. The company settled the suit for $500,000, but said the settlement was not an admission of culpability.
Posted on December 29, 2014 by Dr. Eowyn | 16 comments https://fellowshipoftheminds.com/tag/sandy-hook-massacre/ There have been two notable lawsuits against gun manufacturers: In 2002, a federal judge in California ruled that Bushmaster and other gun manufacturers were not responsible for a 1999 shooting spree that killed a postal worker and injured five people at a Jewish community center in Los Angeles. The judge said a lawsuit by the victims’ families did not show a link between the manufacturers and the shooting rampage. In 2004, in a lawsuit over the .223-caliber Bushmaster rifle used in the Washington, D.C.-area sniper shootings that killed 10 people in 2002, Bushmaster and a Washington state gun dealer agreed to pay $550,000 and $2.5 million, respectively, to two survivors and six families. It was the first time a gun manufacturer had agreed to pay damages to settle claims of negligent distribution of weapons.
National Geographic Channel http://www.natgeotv.com/za/crime-lab/about The show tells the gripping story of two major murder cases where justice was served with the help of ballistic evidence. The first --the Washington DC sniper-is a case that shocked the USA and held the DC community in a state of perpetual fear. While many serial killers take months or even years to catch, police used ballistic evidence to track down the owners of the infamous Bushmaster rifle in three weeks. |
This isn't an accurate heading: Lanza was not part of a military operation, which is what such a section would normally refer to; the actual operational history of the XM-15 would involve things like police operations and use by armed forces if we ever get to that. I've changed it to "Sandy Hook lawsuit" since that's what the section is primarily about. Herr Gruber ( talk) 22:32, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

I have removed the reference to the beltway "sniper" killings and removed the disputed tag. the xm-15 comes in more than one cartidge and can be converted to more than half a dozen others. the m16 family of rifles is based on the ar-15. the xm-15 is based on the ar-15. yes, the xm-15 utilizes advancements made in the development of the m16/m4 such as m4 feed ramps, the rapidex sight, heavy buffer, etc. it is not a machine gun. there is no reason to compare this to a machine gun. -nitrogensixteen

I've switched the user manual over to a mirror site (Stevespages.com) because the link you used just gave me a page not found and I couldn't find the 1999 manual revision you used on Bushmaster's site. Also, the link you provided for the lawsuit shows it wasn't really about the gun so much as the dealer; looking into it, the actual allegation was that the gun store, Bull's Eye Shooter Supply, was extremely dodgy (missing paperwork for around 200 firearms, including the one used in the attacks) and that Bushmaster should have realised that and stopped supplying them. While the ATF / BATFE did find that Bull's Eye Shooter Supply was catastrophically poorly run and revoked the owner Brian Borgelt's Federal Firearms License, the actual lawsuit was settled out of court for $2.5 million (which Bushmaster only paid a fifth of), so it's not correct to say Bushmaster was found negligent. Herr Gruber ( talk) 17:06, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
Bushmaster has called some of their XM-15 rifles "Dissipators". According to this website, "A “dissipator” or “dissy” is an AR-15 with a 16″ barrel but with rifle length front sight post." And "Bushmaster came out with the first civilian AR-15’s actually called the Dissipator which had shaved-down gas blocks at the normal carbine length and then a “dummy” A2 sight block up in front at the rifle position." I see it included in the name of some of their products, as they appear in buying guides, etc. [1] Particularly the "Bushmaster XM15 E2S Dissipator Carbine". Are thse sources incorrect? If not, let's include a mention of the "Dissipator" variants. Felsic2 ( talk) 22:38, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
There are hundred, if not thousands, or references to the use of a Bushmast XM15 by the Beltway sniper. [2] That includes hundreds of references in books. [3] We can't just pretend that history doesn't exist. Felsic2 ( talk) 14:38, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
I have provided many sources that show the Bushmaster rifle is frequently referenced as having been the weapon used in the Beltway Sniper shootings. Those mentions are even in books and articles that are about very different topics, including novels. Also including foreign language sources. Many of these sources don't mention other guns or other crimes. One even refers to the gun itself as being "infamous". That clearly qualifies as having "notoriety greatly increased". Because of your concern about weight, I'll leave out the part about the lawsuit. Once the article gets longer we can revisit that issue. Felsic2 ( talk) 18:09, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

June 07, 2003|Jean Guccione | Times Staff Writer http://articles.latimes.com/2003/jun/07/local/me-jcc7 Authorities have also traced the Bushmaster .223-caliber semiautomatic assault rifle allegedly used by John Allen Muhammad and Lee Malvo in the three-week rampage that left 10 people dead and three wounded around Washington, D.C., last fall to the same Tacoma gun store. The gun industry is striking back by pushing for federal legislation aimed at wiping out those lawsuits, which it contends are frivolous. If the law passes, then gun dealers such as Bull's Eye would be granted immunity from the lawsuits.
By Stephen Hunter October 25, 2002 https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/2002/10/25/the-bushmaster-xm15-a-rifle-known-for-its-accuracy/52e537a2-4e19-4bad-b732-db4f8183973d/ And it is allegedly the weapon of choice of the suspects in the sniper case. From its serial number, the manufacturer, Bushmaster Firearms of Windham, Maine, has identified the rifle -- recovered from a car occupied by the two suspects in the case and linked by authorities to 11 of the 13 shootings -- as an XM15 A3 M4, one of 14 varieties of .223-caliber semiautomatic rifle it makes. The M4 designation signifies that the weapon is a close match to the duty firearm of the U.S. military, and the A3 signifies that its carrying handle may be removed to facilitate the mounting of a telescopic or electronic sight.
Kevin Johnson, USA TODAY The primary weapon used in the Connecticut school massacre — a semiautomatic assault rifle — has a history in high-profile incidents of gun violence in the U.S. The .223-caliber Bushmaster rifle also was the weapon of choice in the 2002 Washington-area sniper shootings, which left 10 dead and three wounded in a series of attacks that terrorized the capital region. The gun, weapon analysts say, has a reputation for easy handling and deadly accuracy.

December 26, 2012 By Sharon http://www.adiosbarbie.com/2012/12/the-sandy-hook-tragedy-masculinity-and-the-expectation-of-violence/ Since 1999, products from Bushmaster have been linked to 28 deaths from mass and spree shootings, including the 10 people murdered by Beltway Snipers John Allen Muhammed and Lee Boyd Malvo in 2001 and 2002. Like Lanza, Muhammed and Malvo preferred the .223 caliber option.

In 2004, Bushmaster settled a lawsuit brought by families of the Beltway victims, which alleged that the company failed to take precautions to ensure that its guns did not fall into the hands of criminals. The company settled the suit for $500,000, but said the settlement was not an admission of culpability.
Posted on December 29, 2014 by Dr. Eowyn | 16 comments https://fellowshipoftheminds.com/tag/sandy-hook-massacre/ There have been two notable lawsuits against gun manufacturers: In 2002, a federal judge in California ruled that Bushmaster and other gun manufacturers were not responsible for a 1999 shooting spree that killed a postal worker and injured five people at a Jewish community center in Los Angeles. The judge said a lawsuit by the victims’ families did not show a link between the manufacturers and the shooting rampage. In 2004, in a lawsuit over the .223-caliber Bushmaster rifle used in the Washington, D.C.-area sniper shootings that killed 10 people in 2002, Bushmaster and a Washington state gun dealer agreed to pay $550,000 and $2.5 million, respectively, to two survivors and six families. It was the first time a gun manufacturer had agreed to pay damages to settle claims of negligent distribution of weapons.
National Geographic Channel http://www.natgeotv.com/za/crime-lab/about The show tells the gripping story of two major murder cases where justice was served with the help of ballistic evidence. The first --the Washington DC sniper-is a case that shocked the USA and held the DC community in a state of perpetual fear. While many serial killers take months or even years to catch, police used ballistic evidence to track down the owners of the infamous Bushmaster rifle in three weeks. |
This isn't an accurate heading: Lanza was not part of a military operation, which is what such a section would normally refer to; the actual operational history of the XM-15 would involve things like police operations and use by armed forces if we ever get to that. I've changed it to "Sandy Hook lawsuit" since that's what the section is primarily about. Herr Gruber ( talk) 22:32, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
