Such an easy thing to forget isn ' t it ? I ' m terribly guilty of this . <| sep |> Sapphire tastes like dirty garden carrots to me for some reason <| sep |> JESUS CHRIST DUDE <| sep |> People get mad because they are assholes who didnt read you ' re a highschool sophomore . Civilian AR and AK pattern rifles are not assault rifles , they are simply semi automatic rifles . They fire once per trigger pull . Assault rifles are military select fire rifles meaning they can fire in automatic or burst fire . Both are generally chambered in intermediate caliber rifled rounds like 5 . 56 and 7 . 62 x 39 . There are automatic firearms legally owned by civilians but there aren ' t many out there and they cost many thousands of dollars . They are great for home defense , are good platforms for hunting and are fun as fuck to shoot .
