Your lack of a coherent answer doesn't define me as a "troll".
Reread this thread, dumbass. I gave very detailed descriptions for why the current nomenclature is the way it is. If there's anything you're not clear on, I'll fucking reiterate again. The thing is, your mind is set and you will not change it.
OK, show me the nomenclature stamped into the weapons.
This again? How is your reading comprehension that fucking bad?
Read again:
You won't see one. Same way you don't see "submachine gun" stamped on an MP9, "heavy machine gun" on an M2, "battle rifle" on an M14, "S.A.W." on an M249 or M60, "anti-material rifle" on an M82, or "sniper rifle" stamped on an M40. Should I move on to grenade and missile designations and their types or have I made my point? Doesn't change the facts that that is what each of them are.
Yes, by all means, tell me about that M16 "assault rifle" and the M14 "battle rifle". Let's take a look at my inch pattern L1A1 "battle rifle". Nope, nothing but "Rifle 7.62mm L1A1". Where do I find the "battle rifle" marking, Murica?
YOU FUCKING WON'T. Reread again! Keep rereading until it gets through your skull. The FAL and your Canadian copy are classified as battle rifles. Arms manufacturers and militaries don't stamp that detail.
