To me, it’s not about being fully automatic or how fast they fire. It’s about how many rounds it can hold. Hunters wait for the animal to get close enough, then fire hopefully just one shot maybe two if the animal is still alive after its tracked down. No hunter is unloading 30 round clips at an animal.
I remember the author writing an entire paragraph’s worth of screed because the stock of an M16 is not as solid as the stock of an AK - you know, for Hollywood-style zombie bashing - completely forgetting that the AK, like the M16, are rifles and that if you use them as rifles you won’t have to worry about using them as clubs. He also forgot that clubs are easy - pickaxe-handles are much cheaper than M16s.
What are assault rifles all about?
They look scary
Actual assault rifles are fully automatic military hardware.
What most people call assault rifles are just hunting rifles in cosplay.

You apparently have never been hog hunting. They travel in packs and don’t go down easy.
Plus, you can get extended magazines for regular hunting rifles.
But, this is a moot point because the definition of assault rifle is one that’s capable of automatic fire.
Most people call military styled rifles “assault rifles” whether they’re full auto or not.
Yes, that was my point.

They go bang-bang real fast
At least you got one serious answer.
