I hate to disappoint you, but it doesn't take an AR-15 to put anyone's mortal backside in danger. The following firearm shown is totally able to put your backside in mortal danger at ranges out to 1000 yards.
The Tryon Creedmore was a .45 caliber target rifle designed and produced in the mid-1800's. It's a percussion cap, muzzleloading rifle, with a 1:21" twist, and a barrel length of 32 5/16". In 2006, I used a similar rifle to hit a steel silhouette of a bison at 1000 yards.
The rifle Matthew Quigley used, a Sharp's 1874, chambered in .45/110, is used to this day in rifle matches all around the country.
PS - It's highly unlikely that an AR-15, chambered in 5.56mm NATO, could touch the target at that range.

Yes I know I watched the movie. I just don't need a refresher course on this gun'
I own a large-calibre muzzleloader.
