[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone tell me what it is that makes AR15's so dangerous? What specific feature(s) does it have that sets it apart from other rifles?[/quote]
Their massive .223 inch bore size, for one.[/quote]

Good one  :lol:

It isn't any more dangerous than any other semi-auto rifle. It's just a popular rifle and it usually looks "tactical," so it gets a lot of attention from people who know nothing about guns.[/quote]

So why do all the hunters say it's the best tool for the job (which is killing)?[/quote]
I don't think "all the hunters" say that.  Either you're making that up, or the people who call themselves hunters are seriously misrepresenting themselves.  The AR is a very versatile platform, able to be customized and adapted to many different roles. But it's still always going to have an upper caliber limit, which will also limit its usefulness as a hunting rifle.

It's a great rifle for a lot of things. But it's not the "best" hunting rifle (though maybe for some things).  I would, however, say that it's probably one of the best all-around rifles for things like sport shooting and home defense. But even those statements don't mean a whole lot because "best" depends on what it's being used for.

Not making it up, it's what the hunters say in the videos posted in this link
