In reply to the discussion: So please tell me this gun owners... [View all]upaloopa
(11,417 posts)4. I'm not a gunner but just saying. The m-16 was made for
spraying an area with rounds. The AR-15 is patterned after the M-16. They weren't made to hunt with. If you kill a deer with a semi-automatic rifle you are not a sportsman. If you only shoot one round at a time why use an AR-15?
In the effort to reduce replys, I am not an expert on gun technology or nomenclature but my idea is still valid.

You mean the deer don't stand around, waiting for you to fire 29 more times?
