But it is an assault rifle, right?
Is a automatic pistol an assault pistol?
Probably not :-) But this type of gun is not really a hunting rifle, is it? You can definitely hunt with it, but it serves a different purpose, and is generally categorized as an assault rifle.
That is how the US army defines an assault rifle.
The US Army doesn't use the AR-15 and never has. Hunters actually do use AR-15 rifles, partly because of customizing and partly because it's semi-automatic, which makes it better than a bolt action in case your first shot doesn't kill the deer.
The "Army definition" mentions power between submachine and rifle, but the AR-15 is a rifle and can use a number of calibers.
Indeed, I just saw another post that also explains this. My bad!
