What is an "assault rifle"?

[Paulie]

This is stupid. Assault is a word. There was a time when the musket was the “assault rifle” as it was the weapon used by the military for their assault. Since they no longer use the musket, is the musket now no longer an assault rifle?

The term "assault rifle" is clearly defined, based on the original "assault rifle" or "storm rifle" produced by the fucking Nazis.\

See the WW2 Sturmgewehr 44. Literally translates as "storm rifle" but means "assault rifle."

It was the combination of the light CQB weapons (sub-machine guns that used pistol ammunition) and the more powerful, longer-ranged battle rifles. It fires an intermediate sized cartridge (not a pistol round, and not a full-powered rifle round). So, it accomplishes the role of both, and fires like both (select fire).

An example would be the weapons in WW2. The U.S. would have used this type of rifle to replace the M1 Garand, M1 Carbine, Thompson Sub, and the M3 grease gun.

The civilian versions of these "assault rifles" do not have the same capabilities (select fire), and are not assault rifles, by definition.

.

I’m not even willing to give it THAT much relevance. The phrase itself is just stupid on its own merits. When there’s an unimaginable amount of different things you can use to assault someone, it’s the height of stupidity to use such a vague term to classify a weapon.

Well clearly an AR-15 or an AK variant it an assault rifle. I think we have established that

ARs and the like are sporting rifles nothing more nothing less

Yes, makes a great sport rifle when hunting wild game dressed in black pajamas, turbines and school uniforms. Do they issue tags for that yet?

Lol
Prairie dogs, antelope, coyotes, foxes, rabbits, deer... etc
It like, ARs and the like were made for the Eradication of these vermin and game hunting.... That’s what the vast majority of them are used for.
How many ARs are used in violent crime, percentage wise in this country every year? A percentage of the percentage tops?
Answer that...

Easy answer. Too many. And there are more Military ARs so your numbers don't mean a thing. Too many says it all. Ask a Mother that lost a child at a school shooting that same question. Too Many.

sporting it what you choose to do with it,,not what it is,,

all guns are created for killing and thank the lord that the 2nd was specific for this reason,,,
the 2nd is for weapons of war
learn the 2nd before you piss on it again,,,

Lol
ARs and the like are generally used for hunting/sporting/home defense anything else they are used for is minimal... Maybe a percentage of the percentage

doesnt matter what you decide to do with it,,,

the 2nd is specific for weapons of war,,,

Which ARs and the like certainly are not... lol

Over the counter ARs would never be excepted on the battlefield,
and would last a matter of minutes

your anti 2nd view is noted,,,

I was just explaining the origin of the term "assault rifle."

The nazis gave it the name and it stuck. And it only refers to those intermediate rifles with full-auto and semi-auto capabilities.

Why would they? It was designed to be a home owner version of an actual military weapon. How is this even something we have to debate

The average American has far greater chance of getting killed from a lawn mower then someone getting killed by someone else using an AR... fact

I don’t care about your emotions… And how you use them to make decisions.
You did not answer my question, out of the millions of ARs owned legally by American citizens. What is the percentage of them that are used in violent crime? Like I said a percentage of the percentage tops...

Yeah but you’re giving the term relevance when it deserves none. A rifle is a rifle. You can assault someone with a single fire musket shot and then take the musket and beat people with it, thereby continuing to assault people with the same musket. You could even attach a bayonet the on the end and assault even more people with it. You can skip all that and just assault people with a baseball bat. The point here is that term makes it sound more dangerous to people who aren’t educated on firearms. The left LOVES to use that phrase. Let’s stop giving it legitimacy to begin with

There may be some held by collectors that are worth $100,000. Relics. And they are NOT ARs. They are Colt 604s.

Great example to set here. The problem we’re dealing with is people picking these weapons up and murdering people with them and you think it’s good form to suggest other people die?

All M-16s and M-4s are AR-15s that have been redesignated with the M number. For instance, the M-16 full size is a AR-15 Model 604 that is stamped as an M-16 before it's sold to the Military. The M-4 is a Colt Model 733 which is nearly identical to the the Model 750. Carbine we know as the AR-15. All of them are Mil Spec if made by Colt and can fire the hotter 556 Nato Rounds. And all three are equally as deadly in a firefight. And yes, the Model Colt 750 Carbine is exported to Militaries outside the US who are barred from buying either the AR-15 Model 604 or the Model 733. Yet every one of those will be stamped M-16 as well.
