assault rifle
n.
Any of various automatic or semiautomatic rifles designed for individual use in combat.
n : any of the automatic rifles or semiautomatic rifles with large magazines designed for military use [syn: assault gun]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyway, I would choose the M16A3 rifle. It's an M16A2 with piccatany rails and full automatic instead of burst capability.

A definition of Assault Rifle is easily seen in the German Language. It isn't the MachineGewehr or the MachinePistole or the Gewehr it is the SturmGewehr. Meaning that it isn't a machine gun or a machine pistol or a main battle rifle (which the 1903 is). It is an intermidiate and seperate entity from the two other weapons than it was designed from (SMG + Main Battle Rifle), meant to take on the best of both. Hitler himself coined the term SturmGewehr (Assault Rifle) when he was presented the first true Assault rifle the Stg44.
Plus how can the SAW be an assault rifle when it is called the Squad Automatic Weapon
Ps. Don't look to much into dictionary.com for military definitions.

OK every post with what weapon you like ends up with someone being smart and saying like a cannon or something. CMON everyone knows what an assault rifle is. If you don't Examples:M4, M16, G36, Aug Steyr.

Im in favor of east hardware so I would take AK-107/108, they seem quite interesting.

What is wise about using rounds you cannot easily acquire when supply runs low or that leaves an unmistakable calling card? Just because it looks good on paper, and fairs pretty well in testing, does not mean it is practical, logical or safe in reality.

Yup, you have to think Logistics too. Your army's useless if it's got no ammo.
Don't ever do a "DiMorga," that is, just because one thing has a higher number on paper, assume it's better than something smaller... just because it's bigger. i.e. People who think the .50 is a practical round for all weapons. Those who think the 7.62mm is automatically better than the 5.56mm no matter what the conditions.
If that won't do it for you, then try this:
A cat is quick and nimble... it can catch a mouse. However, while it prepares to strike, it's so focused that it is not too hard to catch it with a small net on the end of a stick. Thus there is a vulnerability.
Now you can't catch an ox with a net on the end of a stick, but an ox cannot catch a mouse to save its life.
Think about the mission. The hardware is designed around the mission, the mission isn't designed around the hardware.[/list]
