Heard few idiots debating the AR 15 on the Radio ,saying why would you want to hunt Deer with an AR 15 ,there would be nothing left . Have they ever seen an AR 15 ,they must think it’s a Bazooka
Yes, a Bazooka that shoots a projectile that typically weighs 55 grains or barely more than a 10th of an ounce. It is a miracle of physics and ballistics that AR-15 ammo is effective against killer rabbits let alone other humans. Regardless of the debate on its effectiveness AR-15 type rifles were adopted by the military primarily for portability not lethality. The Garand used in WWII weighed 50% more than the M16. But more importantly 5.56x45mm NATA cartridges weigh less than half as much as the 7.62×51mm NATO used in the M14 so soldiers could carry twice as many cartridges into battle.
Sorry forgot to italicize.
