| <!-- RTE::{"spaces":0,"type":"LINE_BREAK"} -->An <b>Assault Rifle</b> 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.
| | 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 battle rifles, which fire a full-sized rifle cartridge, and submachine guns, which fire a pistol cartridge rather than a rifle cartridge. |

| | '''Assault rifle''' may refer to the following: |
| <p _rte_fromparser="true">Assault Rifles date back to the end of the Second World War. Germany developed the first assault rifle, a weapon called the <i>Sturmgewehr 1944</i>. Although it was not fielded in the same quantities as the <i>Maschinenpistole 1940</i> or the <i>Karabiner 98Kurz</i>, the devastating losses it inflicted upon the advancing Soviet armies encouraged the USSR to develop this new class of weapons. The result was 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.
