11. The current AR-15 is a semi-auto rifle, not a full auto.
It just looks a lot like the true assault rifles used in the military which do have the ability to fire full auto.

Ar-15 rifles are used for hunting (varmint and predator), and target shooting:

Yes, shooting can damage your hearing. Ear plugs just don't cut it. Wise shooters wear good headsets. For example:

Where in today's world do you find a room of typewriters?
