Assault gun
An assault gun, often called an assault rifle, is a type of firearm designed for combat that can be used by individual soldiers. It combines the ability to shoot quickly in full-auto or semi-auto modes with the capability to carry both rifle bullets and smaller, more manageable cartridges. These guns are versatile and effective in close to medium-range battles, typically featuring detachable magazines and selective fire options. They are distinguished from other firearms by their balance of firepower, accuracy, and portability, making them a standard weapon for modern infantry forces.
