A fairly basic copy of the ArmaLite AR-15 by Smith & Wesson, primarily sold to civilian and law enforcement markets. Before 2015, the "tactical" variant featured a unique style of railed handguard. The most common variants can be identified by their combination of an unusual barrel profile, which lacks tapering at the front as a cost-saving measure, a standard grip, and standard front sight block (Ruger's AR-556 shares this style of barrel, but has a unique grip and front sight block).
Not to be confused with the Smith & Wesson M&P line of pistols.
The Smith & Wesson M&P15 and variants can be seen in the following films, television series, video games, and anime used by the following actors:

Smith & Wesson M&P15-22
One of many .22LRs styled after the AR-15 for the civilian market, predominantly for training, plinking and varmint hunting. Unlike most conversions, the Smith & Wesson M&P15-22 is largely only an AR-15 in ergonomics, with proprietary, slightly undersized, polymer receivers with minimal parts compatibility (primarily stock, grip, trigger, and muzzle thread) and proprietary magazines that, unlike standard conversion magazines, feature a patented last round bolt hold open.
