there are different companies that make their version of the AR 15 and some are more adaptable for hunting and they use a single shot. Personally I like to go hunting with my M1

Having fixed them for years, it would be fun, but there wouldn't be much left 🤣

15 is more dangerous than the 10.

I miss this one. DPMS Oracle AR10 Target. Unfortunately only a range toy here in Canuckistan, but it was a hoot.

Miss this girl.

More than enough for hunting, if you could carry the pig around long enough in the field.

If I bought or built one, it would be relegated to more of a homestead defense weapon. And for some fun on the range. Also annoyance/destructive animal removal, etc. I wouldn't be taking it with me on a picnic or anything. Animals SHOULD be at a major disadvantage when you're out to hunt them as a food source or eradicate a problem animal. If you think an AR gives you the superior edge, by all means, use it. I'm not into "sport" hunting animals or anything, although I don't have an issue with those that do.

I look at guns as part useful tool that takes a little practice and training to use it well, and part of a bit of fun to try out new types ammo and other types of weapons. I am by no means an expert, and likely never will be. I own more Oldsmobiles than I do guns.

The rifle barrel should give a more stable success rate for longer distances, but it really depends on the setup and tuning of the rifle, and the skills of the shooter. I feel pretty confident with my 9mm pistol, but for longer distances, if need be, I'd prefer a rifle. I have a couple of shotguns, but they also have drawbacks. Regardless of what weapon you prefer, practice practice practice, with safety the paramount priority.

In the U.S.A., I feel it's MY right and responsibility to choose the legally-obtained weapon(s) that make me feel the most comfortable in protecting my family and property. Nobody elses'.

Using an tank would be ok if you wanted to pick up your prey as "already ground" if there was anything left to pick up. Easier to make patties out of on the grill maybe. :)

May I make a home defense suggestion. 😉

Steve,
An animal wouldn't have a chance against an AR or AK. Wouldn't that take the sport out of sport hunting? Just my observation. And again, I;m not looking to start a sh*t storm.


An AR15 fires one bullet with each pull of the trigger just like any other semi automatic rifle.

Just because it looks like a military style rifle, It is not.

Ruger Mini 14 "looks" like an old fashion rifle still holds 30 rounds or more fires the same round as an AR, no one has a problem with it.

Or a Mini 30 fires the same as an AK

In NY, anything with a barrel less than 16" is considered a pistol, so you must have a pistol license for it
Here it is total length of the whole rifle, everything under 60cm from muzzle to stock end is considered a pistol. There are legal pistol size AR variants available here, also AR with 10" barrel categorized as rifle. Most AR variants need to be cleared for sports shooting by the authorities anyway, only two manufacturers have cleared theirs in 10" and 12.5", both made in Bavaria.

John.
Thanks for explaining that to me. Believe me, I'm no gun expert, so thanks for the enlightenment. My friend actually builds these. I suppose I could of asked him about it.
From what I heard, they enter straight in and tumble after they come into contact with whatever.

So does a 22lr, you know that tiny little bullet that the Boy Scouts use to teach you how to shot.

A 22lr in trained hands is one of the most deadliest rounds


Here is a pic of the bullet on an AE15 round and a cute little 22lr

The part that actually leaves the barrel is just about the same

The one on the left looks pretty lethal with the hollow point. I agree that a 22 can do some serious damage depending on where it comes in contact with.

When a hollow point hits it stops and expands.

A non hollow point will bounce around until it runs out of energy
