I don’t know much about guns so pardon my ignorance.

Aren’t AR-15’s and similar rifles just like regular hunting rifles in that 1 trigger pull = 1 round? Is the difference mainly just that they look cooler or more menacing? Correct me if I’m wrong.

Absolutely correct, and the AR stands for Armalite Rifle, the company that initially made the weapon, not “assault rifle”.

I have two we hunt with.

One rigged for hogs in 7.62x39 configuration
.

One for the kids due to the lightweight and the low recoil. With the fusion rounds it is very effective against large game inside of 100 yards.

And women love them once they get over the initial fear of how "powerful/scary" they look, as they don't have nearly as much kick as a shotgun does.
