Ar-15s are potentially ok hunting rifles for large birds and small mammals although there are better options out there.

The main argument I've heard for an AR besides the larp thing is that it's easy to find compatible accessories because it's a popular "open source" common platform.

But honestly any hunter who is serious about hunting with .223 probably has a better gun that they hunt with.

Its also cheap and can be handled by most people of all sizes. Its probably the best overall gun to own for most purposes.
