He mentions in the video why he intentionally used the term. Most of these rifles are actual full auto or select fire variants and not the so called “civilian” versions
Sorry didnt listen to the video, I'm listening to something else.
Is "assault rifle" a real legal term?
You are being silly. An Enfield was an assault rifle in 1916. Are you trolling for the neo liberal faggot term to describe scary black rifles?
No I'm just ignorant I guess.
I just thought that term was just made up for emotional news reports. Service rifle or rifle or firearm or side arm is what I was told.
Just looked up bolt action magazine fed Enfield standard-issue infantry rifle. No mention of "assault rifle" yet. Maybe because it's a British article. "Assult rifle" might be a us legal term idk.
Nope. Don't confuse the term with the liberal retard term "assault weapon". The first assault rifle was the StG44 "Sturmgewehr", literally translating to "storm rifle", whereas "assault rifle" is a more accurate localization. Defining features are box mag fed, intermediately caliber, and select fire.
"Assault" rifle,is a classification of said weapon by either the Mfg.-Govt.agency,or FFL.
Legally, probably. It was also designated as a term in the US Army's 1970 small arms intelligence booklet FCTC-CW-07-03-70. The features of intermediate caliber, box magazines, and select fire are their defining properties.
A lot of people will split hairs over the term and conflate it with the totally bogus "assault weapon", which does not have a clear definition.
Thanks I like to know how to intelligently talk about my adrenaline laden boomsticks.
Some people call my big guns "biceps and or triceps" and yeah their fully auto with graple, punch and karate chop trigger selections. They run on greasy breakfast bacon.
I think the germans in WWII coined the term but the media coopted it in the 80’s for their gun grabbing propaganda
