On Friends Can't Let Friends Shoot People
a little history: "assault rifle" is a marketing term, coined by none other than Hitler to christian a new rifle. it designated nothing technical, only Hitler's desire for eternal attack. but... the new rifle was, in fact, revolutionary insofar as it introduced, for the first time, an "intermediate" cartridge or bullet. this cartridge wasn't as powerful as a full sized rifle bullet, nor was it as weak as the pistol cartridges used in submachine guns. what a lot of gun-illiterate -- and i don't mean that as a criticism -- people don't realize is that guns, rifles, etc., are often designed around a specific cartridge.
