An example of a Assault rifle is what?
Assault rifle An assault rifle is a selective-fire rifle that uses an intermediate cartridge and a detachable magazine. Assault rifles were first used during World War II. Though Western nations were slow to accept the assault rifle concept, by the end of the 20th century they had become the standard weapon in most of the world's armies, replacing full-powered rifles and sub-machine guns in most roles. Examples include the StG 44, AK-47 and the M16 rifle.
Long gun A long gun is a category of firearms with longer barrels than other classes. In small arms, a "long gun" is generally designed to be fired braced against the shoulder, in contrast to a handgun. In the context of cannons and mounted firearms an artillery "long gun" would be contrasted with a howitzer or carronade.
