The WWSD (What Would Stoner Do) rifle is an ultralight AR-15 build focused on extreme weight reduction, weighing just over 5 pounds. It features a polymer lower receiver, carbon fiber handguard, and a lightweight barrel, offering excellent balance and handling. While accurate and soft-shooting, it exhibits ammunition sensitivity and specific magazine compatibility issues.

This video from Pew Pew Tactical explores their custom take on the InrangeTV / Brownells "What Would Stoner Do?" (WWSD) 2020 project rifle. They discuss modifications made to the base WWSD 2020 platform to align with personal preferences and current legal landscapes. The video references their previous "Remote Brutality" content and hints at a "spaceman trash warrior kit" provided by Uncapitate on Instagram.

This video traces the evolution of the monolithic polymer AR-15 lower receiver, starting with Colt's early experiments and progressing through Cavalry Arms' CAV-15 Mark 1 and Mark 2, GWACS Armory's production, and culminating in KE Arms' modern KP-15. Key design challenges and improvements, such as reinforcing stress points and optimizing material usage, are detailed. The KP-15 represents a significant advancement using digital manufacturing and high-grade glass-filled nylon for enhanced durability and features.

The WWSD 2020 project revives Eugene Stoner's original AR-15 design philosophy using modern materials like carbon fiber and polymer. A key feature is the integrated polymer lower receiver, now in production by KE Arms and exclusively distributed by Brownells as complete rifles. This initiative aims to create a lightweight, reliable carbine, continuing Stoner's legacy of material innovation.
