So I was just looking at the charging handle on my AR and wondered, how the hell do you pronounce VLTOR. I would think its volter. I've never heard anyone say it, so I'm not sure. What do you guys think?

You pronounce it U-ltor. It's latin for "Avenger." Or in Colorado speak "Boys, Avenge me. Avenge meeeeeeee!"

This. I believe they explain it on their website, though it is not intuitive for sure.

From the VLTOR website:

The name VLTOR originates from the Latin word ultor and means “Avenger”.
Latin pronunciation is uhl’tawr. Current pronunciation is vol-to?r.

I never had a reason to say it in real life because I'm poor but I always pronounced it in my head as vee-tor.
