hunting human rifles.

let's be honest, it was designed as a lightweight emergency carbine made of space aged materials. 60 years later we're arguing if the founding fathers meant bump stocks and cmags when they said well regulated militia.

lightweight emergency carbine

Not initially. went through tons of growth after the AR-10 was designed.
