Does anybody know, or can anybody post, exactly where the Department of Defense has defined "assault weapon"? (Please help, I have a very impatient Former Marine busting my balls [;D]) |

taken from, what do you tell them when they ask: "why does anyone need military style guns"" a panphlet produced by springfield armory in the mid 80's "The defense departments description of an assualt rifle to wit: assualt rifles are short,compact, select fire weapons that fire a cartridge intermediate in power between submachinegun (pistol)and rifle cartridges" im glad i kept mine I just wish they would print it again |
| The term "assualt weapon" is a fabricated term invented by the scum bag anti-gunners/news media to scare the non-gun oriented masses. The AW term also includes some shotguns and pistols. I believe that knowledgeable people such as Jane's use the term "assualt rifle." There is a big difference in the difinition when you go from state to state. The anti-gunners put whatever firearms into this category since they invented the term. |
