Mostly the large capacity clip. It's actually a fairly small caliber.
My main objection to it is that it's a quasi-military weapon, not a legitimate sporting firearm.
A sporting arm will suffice for self-defense, but an AR-15 is an overtly offensive weapon.
I was issued an M-16, the actual military version. I still remember what it was for.
The LAST thing I ever wanted to do was to take the ugly piece of shit home with me.

Looking at the numbers, I would guess the average murderer does not wake up the morning of the murder knowing he will murder that day. He realizes he might murder that day, but that is just possible. He does not want to lug a big rifle around with him all day on just the vague possibility, so he picks a pistol.
.45's are made for killing horses. I doubt many people want to kill horses, so they will pick a 9mm. A 9mm would be lighter, easier to carry, and would generally allow more shots. If you want to kill a human, then more shots are better.
So to answer the original question, what makes the AR-15 so lethal? 9mm or even bullets with less force pistols are far more lethal, in that, they are far more likely to be carried and used by killers in the USA.

The first statement is technically correct, but mostly wrong. The second statement is completely wrong. Soldiers are the most common group both to carry M-16, and to refer to a magazine as a clip. Night clearly never served.
Being a gravy seal does not make Night an expert on anything.
And it gets worse. Technically the clip is the strip of metal used to reload the magazine, so any soldier who has used a M-16, or 1911 pistol would have used a clip to reload the magazines.

IMPEACH 46 FOR TREASON
Biden/Harris 2024
IT'S A NO BRAINER!
A Glock cannot kill someone past about a 100 yards; an AR-15 can easily kill at 800 yards. Glocks lack the accuracy of an AR-15 even below 100 yards. A Glock is not going to get through reasonable body armor, like an AR-15 can. Glocks are really not designed for a high rate of fire like AR-15's are.
There is one thing that makes a Glock better than an AR-15, it is easier to carry. If I am a soldier, I know I am going out to kill someone, so I want to carry something like an AR-15. If I am a hunter, I know I am going out to kill something, so I want to carry something like a hunting rifle. If I am anyone else, and do not know I am going out to kill anything, I want to either not carry any weapon, or at most carry a pistol.
