No, assault rifle is a select fire weapon, usually capable of burst fire, but also capable of automatic fire. It has an actual definition, which the TC did not use correctly in his shitty attempt at classifying a small game hunting rifle as an assault rifle.


Wrong.

Go ahead, argue with the dictionary.

He said "sporting rifle" is useless as a term, and I said that so is "assault rifle" when a bolt action gun with a detachable mag, telescoping stock and a pistol grip can qualify as one. Stop trying to gunsplain. I know more than you.

Assault rifle used to have a proper definition dictated by the military as being any rifle utilizing intermediate-power cartridges and has selective fire (this completely excludes civilian versions of rifles that have only semi-automatic).

"Assault weapon" is the completely useless term because its meaning depends on which politician you ask, and its sole purpose is to sway public opinion into supporting their gun control efforts by slapping an intimidating label on a broad range of rifles.
