And as I pointed out in another thread, you can now purchase an adapter for your threaded barrel on your AR-15 to launch golf balls using blank ammo. I can say from first hand experience, it's damn fun.

You said that better than could have done. It seem people care more about the wrapping paper then what is inside. I bet you you can take a .22 dress it as a military style weapon and put a 308 or 338 hunting rifle next to it and they will tell you the .22 is evil.

I like the hunting rifle better myself. I'd rather have a gun that my father gave me than a thousand dollar assault style rifle.

Now the question; which rifle is more 'dangerous'?

The ability to put more lead on your target in less time would make the AR-15 more dangerous than a bolt-action I would think. Size of projectile notwithstanding.

I'd rather not get shot at all.

Well pardon my mistake, sir.
If we are having some sort of extreme range conflict you are probably correct, but to disregard the speed at which you can fire and reload the weapon while talking about lethal seems to be ignoring a lot.
Military does not go for lever action carbines, I suspect the Rate of Fire is important to them in determining how lethal a weapon is.

Jip but then the 223 will go through a sand bag the 308 will not.

Just so anyone who wonders knows, the AR in AR-15 is not "Assault Rifle" it's "Armalite", the company that came up with the idea.

And top flight balls seem to shoot the best.
