In terms of explosive charge in the round and muzzle velocity I say it is high caliber compared to a 9mm handgun or .22 5.56 or .223 flies faster and further than a G17XL each and every time. You can’t compare the two. But the A-R should always be a part of American home defense in my opinion. Every responsible citizen should have one for the family. Teach their children about weapons safety and imprint on them that it is a tool for taking down bad people or hunting.

Try an AR-10->.308/7.62....NASTY!!!!!!!
Speed + weight = power , stopping power, impact power.
