The gentlemen are wrong. The term was invented in WWII by the Germans when they first issued the new Sturm Gewehr (Assault Rifle) to their troops.

Read the post, the term they refer to as made up is "assault weapon."

The term of interest is "Belagerung Waffe", or "Siege Waffle" which is insufficiently pejorative and -ahem- assaults the USDA carbohydrate pyramid. Hence the ham-handed substitution of a salt rifle.

In 1983 I first heard the term "assault rifle" to apply to full-auto capable .223s and "battle rifles" to apply to full-auto .308s.

Rog, question, if you are firing your M-16 over a sand bag berm in defense of your outpost. Is it still an "assault weapon". In 5 years in Uncle Sams Misguided Children I never heard that term. -Anymouse
