Nearly every hunting rifle round will penetrate the typical body armor worn by police officers. Even the ballistic armor worn by the military will only stand up to certain lower power rounds. Do you know what it takes to legally own a silencer? You don't walk into the nearest Silencers R Us store buy one and take it home. 34 states allow the use of a silencer for hunting, it helps prevent hunters hearing loss. The AR15 has become a popular hunting gun, especially for varmint and destructive pest type animals. Other than a few shootings where a demented individual used an AR or AK, killings by these weapons is way down on the list of firearm deaths. Homicides by rifle are extremely low. Hand guns are the weapon used in the majority of shooting deaths.
