Assault Rifles

Overview
Assault Rifles are exactly that; rifles engineered for automatic rate of fires, with STANAG magazines which carry a high capacity for extended assaults. Contrary to sniper rifles, assault rifles are unscoped, and if they are equipped, they are renamed battle rifles, usually being subpar to a marksman rifle in long-ranges, but more equipped than a true assault rifle.

The nature of an assault rifle makes them more damaging than a submachine gun, but more difficult to control because of their recoil and more restricted in ammunition types. An assault rifle is also very difficult to maintain.

There are two subtypes of assault rifles: Standard and Battle Rifles. 
 * Standard Assault Rifles come with either automatic or burst fire modes. Semi automatic assault rifles are very few, since most of times these types of rifles are equipped with a scope (then renamed Battle Rifles). An example of a standard Assault Rifle is the Mikhail 47.
 * Battle Rifles are marksman rifles equipped for both assault and semi-long range engagements. The confusion between marksman and battle rifles are resolved this way: if a rifle has a scope but has no zooming it is named a Battle Rifle. Battle Rifles can be either semi or automatic, while marksman rifles are always semi-automatic. An example of a Battle Rifle is the Galileo.

Assault Rifles are most of times chambered in NATO ammunition (5.56mm and 7.62mm), but there are rare exceptions in some models for smaller or larger calibers.

Trivia
In real life, a battle rifle is a synonym for a marksman rifle. In Deathwish, the name is given to an assault rifle closer to an assault mode than sniping. Scoped battle rifles have no zooming.
