An '''Assault Rifle''' is a selective-fire firearm using a projectile with a muzzle energy in between those of a full-sized rifle and a smaller submachine-gun or a pistol. Assault rifles are categorized in between light machine guns, which are intended more for sustained automatic fire in a support role, and submachine guns, which fire a pistol cartridge rather than a rifle cartridge. 

==History==
Assault Rifles date back to the end of the Second World War. Germany developed the first assault rifle, a weapon called the Sturmgewehr 44, although it was not used to a full extent because of its manufacturing date being so close to the end of the war, the gun was made in 1944, in an effort to provide their infantrymen with a firearm better suited to the mid-ranged engagements of modern warfare. Then came the Russian AK-47, which basically set the definition of an assault rifle. By the time of the Halo trilogy, most assault rifles also house an onboard electronics suite, showing ammo capacity, a compass, and other information, without the use of a HUD.

These could refer to the following:
*'''[[MA2B Assault Rifle]]''' - The stripped-down version of the [[MA5B Assault Rifle]].
*'''[[MA3 Assault Rifle]]''' - The older variant of the [[MA5B Assault Rifle]].
*'''[[MA5 Series]]'''
**'''[[MA5B Individual Combat Weapon System]]''' - The standard [[UNSC]] armament in from the early-2500's to 2552. It was phased out shortly after the [[Battle of Reach]] and the [[Battle of Installation 04]]. ([[Halo 1|''Halo: Combat Evolved'']])
**'''[[MA5C Individual Combat Weapon System]]''' - A new MA5 model introduced in late-2552 during the late [[Battle of Earth]] and the [[Battle of Installation 00]]. ([[Halo 3|''Halo 3'']])
**'''[[MA5K Carbine]]''' - A special version of the [[MA5B Assault Rifle]] utilized by the [[SPARTAN-III]]'s and other Special Operation forces.
It is also possible that the BR55 is an Assault Rifle, as it doesn't fire a full rifle cartridge and, in trailers, seems capable of fully automatic fire hinting at a selective fire feature that was not included due to gameplay issues. In some ways the Battle Rifle is a better assault rifle than the over grown [[SMG]], the MA5B, and its ''Halo 3'' iteration, the [[MA5C]] .

*'''[[BR55 Battle Rifle]]''' - Replacing the Assault Rifle in [[Halo 2|''Halo 2'']], despite not appearing as a complimentary weapon to the MA5B in the canon.
**'''[[BR55HB SR Battle Rifle]]''' - Replacing the BR55 in ''Halo 3''; it is almost identical to the BR55.
