-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. Examples of modern assault rifles include the '''M16''', '''AK family''', '''G36''', '''FN SCAR''', and the '''Steyr AUG'''.
