Greg you're right but I'm thinking more of a dedicated pistol instead of a cut down bullpup

This is just a way to sidestep the ATF short barrel rifle law. You
notice they call those stumpy stocks a "brace" too. Some of these
things accept AR style accessories so you could put a telescoping M4
shoulder stock on most of them but you are then making a "hold your
nose legal" gun illegal.
I think they make these things, just because they can and I am not
really sure what they are good for.


One of the guys I occasionally see out in Virginia has one of those AR
type pistols. I shot a few rounds out of it once. I agree...I have no
idea what they are good for, aside from bragging rights.

Seems to be true of pretty much all the AR type guns. Bragging rights. About what, I
don't know.

They are astually a decent hunting rifle for anything up to the size

Would that not be true of the Ruger Mini-14 also?

I'd certainly think so but the question was about AR-15 types. I
think a lot of states limit hunting guns to a 5 round magazine so that
could be an issue either way.

I'm thinking that most of the folks who would use the AR style for hunting wouldn't
be loading it up with enough accessories to take on ISIS singlehandedly.

I don't know why anyone would want to hunt with an AR, but there are
plenty of "hunting legal" rifle mags for it in five round capacity.
Brownell's has some:

Short; light weight; easy to carry; lots of fire power; accurate.
Other than that, I can't think of any reasons either.

Yes it absolutely would. Does wonders on deer too!

With the right bullet it would certainly take down wood chucks and you
could take the head off a turkey. I am sure a deer would bleed out
without too much of a chase but I think I would want something a tad
heavier if I was shooting at a ****ed off 400 pound tusker coming at
me..

Not to be nit pickin', but he did say 'up to', not 'up to and including'. :)

I wouldn't want to try to tap one charging at me either. A 12g. slug would be more suitable for that task. but It would easily take a wild boar down if you casually whacked it. Especially if you could get the pig behind the ear.
