Assault rifle
Assault rifle is a selective fire rifle that uses an intermediate cartridge and a detachable magazine. Assault rifles are the standard infantry weapons in most modern armies. Their ease of use, sustainability, and low production costs make them practical and affordable.
History
The concept of the assault rifle was developed during World War II. The Sturmgewehr 44, produced by Germany, is generally considered the first assault rifle. The design was to bridge the gap between long range rifles and shorter range submachine guns.
Design
Assault rifles are shorter than traditional rifles and are designed to be used in any combat scenario. They are capable of selective fire options including semi-automatic, burst, and fully automatic fire. The ammunition used in assault rifles is intermediate in size, larger than pistol ammunition but smaller than full-sized rifle cartridges.
Usage
Assault rifles are used by military, law enforcement, and civilian populations. They are the primary weapon used by the infantry in modern warfare. The design of the assault rifle allows it to be used effectively in close combat situations, while also having the capability to engage targets at a distance.
Variants
There are many variants of assault rifles, including the AK-47, M16, and FN FAL. These variants differ in design, caliber, and functionality, but all fall under the classification of an assault rifle.
