Assault rifles

Assault rifles are a type of firearm designed for rapid fire and versatility in combat. They typically have a selective fire option, allowing the user to switch between semi-automatic (one bullet per trigger pull) and automatic (continuous fire while holding the trigger) modes. Assault rifles are usually chambered for intermediate cartridges, which strike a balance between power and controllability. They are often equipped with features like detachable magazines and optics, making them effective for various military and law enforcement applications. While they are capable of high rates of fire, regulations around their ownership and use vary by country.
