Stopping Power.
The AR-15 can deliver stopping power on these types of environments. As mentioned you can get hit with a pistol and continue to move/escape. Also, a .556 round will travel through this that a pistol round will not.
It is a well made weapon that is very good at the job for which it was designed.
