An assualt rifle can kill MORE people because they generally have bigger mags than hunting rifles,and few hunting rifles are fully automatic

not true actually, a well trained man with a handgun is more deadly than some raving idiot with an assault rifle. take, for instance, the ak-47. when firing fully automatic at a distance of thirty feet, you have an error range because of recoil and general innacuracy of one meter after the first couple of shots. with a pistol and well placed shots, well trained people can land many in the space of a coffee can, with minimal time for recoil in between.

for example, a military pistol qualified sharp shooter can draw, place two shots on bullseye, reload and place two more on bullseye in under five seconds. that means that a well trained person with a hand gun could kill four people in less than five seconds... with an assault rifle in a crowded place you could seriously wound that many, but not with as much likelyhood of a solid kill.
