Without diving *** into the game laws, I don't believe the law separates firearms from long arms for hunting.
For example, it is perfectly legal, as as far as I know always has been, to hunt a deer with a revolver as long as it meets the minimum caliber.
Likewise, you could use any SBR for hunting, as long as it was a bolt, pump, or lever gun, all considered "firearms" under PA law, not rifles.

Game laws state "manually operated handguns" so no you cant use an ar pistol to hunt, you can shoot them at the range though. http://read.nxtbook.com/pgc/huntingt...furtaking.html

"For varmints or Coyotes an AR pistol would meet the requirements from what I understand"
