Maybe you can pull the trigger just as fast, but you'll be out of control with the 30-06 and maybe on your ass. Any 30-06 I've ever shot I remember kicking like a 12 Guage shotgun.
I can pull an AR15 trigger pretty fast and empty a clip in a few seconds, and the grouping will be tighter because its great for getting a lot of rounds out of the barrel accurately. Even a 7.62 kicks pretty wildly firing super fast semi.
Also, the hunting rifle doesn't hold nearly as many rounds.
So the .223 is no big deal because it "won't go through a person"? You just show a basic ignorance of ammunition effectiveness. The .223 is know as one the most devastating rounds to human tissue.
