The AR-15 and it's derivatives is the most lethal weapon ever marketed to the civilian public. THE MOST LETHAL EVER period.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thompson_submachine_gun

(snip)

The weapon was also sold to the general public. Because it could be obtained so easily, the Thompson became notorious during the Prohibition era as the signature weapon of various organized crime syndicates in the United States in the 1920s. It was a common sight in the media at the time, and was used by both law enforcement officers and criminals.

100 rounds of .45 ACP at full auto can be pretty deadly.
