AR15 is a lighter, lower powered gun than your typical hunting rifle; the energy of a .223 bullet is a lot lower than a .30. The capacity is almost irrelevant, changing multiple mags is no problem for anyone with decent training. I am the kind of guy that loads only 5 rounds in each 10 round mag (sport shooting), so changing mags is as natural as firing the next round. People telling that "high-capacity overpowered mass destruction weapons" should be forbidden, on the other side...

- croutonwagon 6y agoIn point of fact. typical AR-15 calibers (.223/5.56) are not legal for hunting anything bigger than small game in most areas. You cant hunt deer or bigger with them....because of the lack of power. Its considered inhumane. They are great for varmit/small game (ie: coyote and pigs) though.
- aaronax 6y ago.223 is actual legal for hunting deer in most states. Many of the ones where you can't use it simply don't don't allow rifles at all.
- badrequest 6y agoI'm fully in favor of making bolt-actions the only legal form of firearm.

- AdrianB1 6y agoDon't underestimate the Mauser Kar 98, it is a lot more lethal than an AR15, it is bolt action and a good shooter is very effective with it. I really don't understand the impression that low-capacity, low-speed action rifles are protecting anyone from a bad guy with bad intentions; it is not.
