Some people actually use them for hunting. With a 5-round magazine, of course, because that's the legal limit.
Myself, I prefer something more accurate. However, definitions get slippery. The US Army used to issue the M1903-A3 rifle to troops, better known as the .30-06 Springfield. That _is_ the type of rifle and cartridge I used to use for deer hunting.
Several of the proposed bans have included "military-issue weapons" without further definition.
