The AR-15 was built for slaughter in war zones

[smilesammich 10,727]

I am clueless as to what you are talking about

[-relo- 105]

I, for one, am relieved all this gun knowledge makes the 49 murder victims okay now. Not a gun problem, just a lack of gun knowledge issue.

If a shooting victim doesn't know the difference between a clip and a magazine the bullet is much more damaging.

nobody said any of that trash.

the thread title is 'The AR-15 was built for slaughter in war zones', and that is what the discussion has been about.

I would not hunt wild hangs with a .223. Those things don't play . I want something that will bring them down.. 308 as a minimum. .223 is a varmint round .

Why are you posting in this thread? It's pretty obvious your knowledge of guns is about zero. The most popular round for killing people in this country is the 9mm which has finally surpassed the .22. The 9mm is the gang bangers round of choice. The .223 is used by the military because it's cheap and it has a flat projectory for shooting at long distances ... 300+ meters. It's designed to injure, not kill. An injured enemy on the field is better than a dead enemy seeing how an injured enemy requires help.

Because it's an open forum, and everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

And speaking of which, when did you serve?

Never seen one irl. Are they invading people's properties. How big are they? Do you eat them after shooting them?

I think Operator did too. Those are the only ones I know of.

Oh, yeah. He hasn't been around for a long time.

So from what I'm reading the ar15 was developed for mass killing during war time, and is now put to excellent use killing some kind of creature called a wild hawg(?).

Are these creatures so intimidating? Wouldn't mind one for a pet. They sound awesome.

Wild hawgs can be a big problem for land owners and can be extremely dangerous .

What do they do exactly that's a problem? How did people cope before the AR15? Sounds like overkill!

I think my assertion was the AR 15 round was not enough for hawg hunting. It's a varmint round .

If you want to say it was developed for taking enemy combatants out of the conflict, I'm okay with that I suppose per the Hague Convention of 1899. Strictly speaking ammunition was regulated for combatant survivability not death.

(IE. by the 1900s warfare was no longer about killing people but rendering them incapable of sustaining a fight. One can argue that all firearms post 1900 are no longer strictly speaking "designed to kill".)
