Id say English is a better way to comunicate your ideas here...All of these northern eauropian langs. are killing me.....

Well, an assault rifle....hmmm, well a few things it needs to have.-

1-Rapid, automatic fire rate.
2-Light enough to charge with.
3-Possible to fire with reasonable accurecy while moving.
4-Sufficiant effective range(150 meters at least)
5-Easy to load. at least 20 bullets in a magazine.
