assualt rifles dont exist
Don't be dense. "Assault rifle" is a clear term with an established definition of being a rifle chambered in an intermediate cartridge, with select fire capability.
Don't conflate it with "assault weapon".
its slang from the us army... the only reason why they use it is so you handle with care until you know your weapon.... the politics made it a common term for gun control
My man, the original assault rifle was called the Sturmgewehr 44, or StG for short. Its very name translated almost directly to "assault rifle"; it literally means "storm rifle", and was given a synonymic swap in translation.
The features of the StG defined the term, and other countries sought out to create assault rifles of their own.
Again, it's a clear term with clear definition and clear history; don't confuse it with a leftist euphemism that is vaguely and arbitrarily defined.
