The AR-15 is probably the most versatile rifle of all time and it can be used for just about any firearms use.
1) For small game hunting; kind of a waste here. way too much. But if you decide to do it, head shots only and nothing above the horizon.
2) Big game hunting; nothing larger than a whitetail deer. Accurate head or neck shots with larger, heavier bullets.
2) Target shooting; ar 15's are capable of moa accuracy out of the box with proper ammunition.
3) Self defense; not the best but better than nothing.
4) fun factor: no rifle can be more personalized or accesorized, low recoil, fairly inexpensive ammo, and accurate. Just plain fun.
