Don't call it an assault weapon. [View all]

[Jerry442]

Call it a Sturmgewehr, literally "storm rifle", a name said to be personally selected by Hitler. From Wikipedia: "the [Sturmgewehr] 44 was the first successful weapon of its class, and the concept had a major impact on modern infantry small arms development. By all accounts, the StG 44 fulfilled its role admirably, particularly on the Eastern Front, offering a greatly increased volume of fire compared to standard infantry rifles and greater range than submachine guns."

Or, we could pretend that assault weapons are just Grandpa's hunting rifle with some cosmetic changes.
