[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone who says the AR-15 isn't more dangerous is lying to you.  The high muzzle velocity means that a small round causes lots of damage including cavitation damage, which makes less accurate shots more likely to sever an artery or turn a vital organ to mush.  Also the 223 tends to tumble a lot inside.

A hunting rifle packs a bigger hit, but the recoil is so strong that you can't stay on the same target and put round after round into them.  The AR-15 has low kick because the recoil is absorbed and turned into the energy to eject the casing and chamber the next round.  This allows you to stay on the target and put multiple rounds into it.  And the ability to fire lots of round means that an ordinary person can kill a lot of people.

And obviously the large capacity magazine gives you more shots between changing magazines.

So in short, a non-expert with an AR-15 can kill more people because the round causes lots of damage, but the recoil is light enough and the capacity high enough that you can get off a lot of shots.  [/quote]

It’s called banning semiautomatic rifles. [/quote]
