I doubt anyone would use an AR-15 for hunting (other than varmits like prairie dogs). Its purpose is military.If the AR-15, and by implication the M-16, is only fit to hunt "varmints like prairie dog", why is this weapon the US main battle rifle? Can't the US do better than a varmint rifle.

The intent of combat rifles is, generally, to wound the enemy soldier so that his compatriots have to spend the time and effort to pick him up and patch him up. Hence the prohibition against expanding ammo in the Geneva Conventions.
