60. You are twisting semantics

to support a position that cannot be supported.

Both the Russians and Germans were primarily armed with bolt action rifles in WWII. You are saying that only full auto rifles (which were also used) can be called assault weapons. Wrong. The rifle in this picture is a weapon of war - an assault rifle.

The Afgans took their RPGs from Soviets they killed with bolt action assault rifles. Their Stinger squads were supported with bolt action assault rifles.

If entire armies were armed with beermugs, then yes, those would be assault weapons.

You are hiding behind words.
