Some soldiers might have a rifle, but others might have a sub-machine gun or a machine gun or a sniper rifle. And some people assist the officers, use a radio, or carry ammunition for a bigger weapon. When is this decided and on what guidelines for each?
On Modern Warfare 2 do YOU get more kills with a Sniper Rifle or a
Assasult Rifle/Sub Machine Gun ?
I’m talking about firearms, I was thinking about it and the browning .50 cal machine gun is all I could come up with.
I want a good AEG assault rifle but I want it to be fairly accurate instead of a spray-and-pray type sub-machine gun. Also I don’t want anything terribly expensive. Please add a good reference for reviews and a purchasing source to your suggestion(s). Thank you.
Does anyone know if federal or New York state law allows for a permit for the possession of firearms which are normally considered prohibited, if they can be considered historical artifacts? Example: Fully automatic weapons are prohibited except to law enforcement & military; can someone own a WWI or WWII machine gun in full working order, based on historical significance?
I’ve heard some people say that a .338 Lapua Magnum machine gun would be unfeasible because of a] the weight of the gun, b] the weight of the bullet, and c] the recoil of the gun in sustained fully automatic fire [i.e muzzle climb]. Is there such a thing as a .338 Lapua Magnum Machine gun in the military? If not, is it feasible to produce one for infantry use?
In the 1986 machine gun ban it states that a civilian can not own an assault weapon made after 1986 and yet companies like Blackwater, that are civilian companies, can.
Ok, I was always wondering this so now I am going to ask. If you are a soldier in the Army or marines, when you get deployed into the middle east and go into combat, do you pick what your primary weapon is,(like a SAW machine gun, the m4 or m16) the mods on the gun, and how your gear is arranged?(such as the vest magazine pouches and things like that.) Or do the commanders or whoever is in charge of that stuff do it all for you.
it fires rapidly and can fire a single shell as opposed to pellets. what exactly characterizes a shotgun as opposed to an assaul rifle or machine gun?
don’t some shotguns fire single sounds?
can you get the assault rifle in halo 2(like the machine gun on the first halo game)? if so PLEASE tell me how or give me a shortcut to a video on youtube or something like that.

Are these two terms interchangable?
It seems as if many people, for some reason, refer to the AK-47 as an ‘assault rifle’- but it is also a machine gun (when on fully automatic).
Do assault rifle and machine gun have the same meaning?
tell your thoughts about the best firearm ,it could be an assault rifle,machine gun,submachine gun,sniper rifle or even a minigun!
I have seen many definitions.
One is that it is a weapon that can switch between semi-automatic and fully automatic fire. But, a Thompson sub-machine gun can also do this and it is not an assault rifle it is a submachinegun. Another definition is that it fires an intermediate round, something between a rifle round and a pistol round. An AR-15 fires an intermediate round and it is just a semiautomatic rifle that looks "mean"….I don’t consider it an assault rifle, it is just a semi-automatic rifle to me.
The phrase seems bogus to me. It seems that whenever someone wants to make a gun look "bad" they call it "assault rifle". "Assault" also means "attack" so it also seems like the definition depends on what you are using it for. You could assault someone with any rifle…does that mean a bolt action .22 cricket is an assault rifle too?
I feel that if there is no definite defintion that everyone honors and that we should just make up a new term and scrap "assault rifle".
I pretty much have a good idea of what they are, the definition dosn’t seem to be rock hard to me though. A lot of people seem to like to distort it into being something it isn’t. I tihnk we should make a new term and first thing make an accurate definition. Assault Rifle was supposedly coined by Hitler and was not really defined at the time of it’s making thus allowing for all manner of interpretations. I know several people who thing my SKS is an assult rifle just because because it has a bayonet, a grenade launcher and looks kind-of-ish-like an AK-47.
I just think Assault Rifle has been too over used, over defined and has just become a bad phrase.
Now select fire can’t be right because the MP43/44 is only semi-auto and full-auto. There is no burst fire mode. If we make it have 3 fire modes the original assault rifle will no longer be an assault rifle. If we count 2 fire modes things like Thompson’s will be assault rifles and they are not rifles. I find that every option contradicts itself in some way….this is a very complex problem, we are trying to undo 60 years of error.
I know alot of guns but i cant classify some of them. for example, into assualt rifle or sub-machine gun. what are the types and what are the differences between them?
