An Ar-15 is no more compact than a hunting rifle. Barrel length is restricted by law.

And every gun I’ve seen with a detachable magazine comes in a variety of sizes. Hell. A Ruger 22 rifle accepts a 100 round magazine. Is that an assault rifle?

The Ruger 10/22 rifle with a pistol grip and a folding stock was classified as an assault weapon under the Federal Assault Weapons Ban.

The AR 15s come in various configurations and are quite modular from what I gather.

Collapsible stocks and vertical front handles etc. Clearly originally made for use cases that differ from hunting animals.

They look cool though!
