Yeah really, the AR-15 platform is pretty easy to use. Insert magazine, pull back charging handle, release, take it off safe. To reload, drop empty mag, insert loaded mag, push bolt release on right side, weapon chambers. Or pull the charging handle to the rear (there will be no spring pressure because the handle isn't locked on the bolt yet) and pull until it goes no farther. When you release, the handle will release the bolt and the gun will chamber.

Plus, I think the pistol grip makes it much easier to hold, it has a better weight distribution so carrying one is easier than with a hunting stock rifle and it holds you steadier.
