[QUOTE="craigkindlesmith, post: 892511, member: 9643"] lol @ "fun-switch" And you may be right. "Assault rifle" seems to be a relative term also. Depends on the person I guess. Do I tell people, "Hey! Look at my new assault rifle!"? No. I don't. It's my AR. But as far as a safe term to use, with a crowd, Assault rifle can be said and every one knows exactly what I'm talking about. Like the previous contributer said about his 6.8. I knew what he was talking about. I bet you did too. But everyone else might not. Sometimes it's easer to generalize. Do you think AR's, AK's and SKS's are Assault rifles, No. Do I think they are? Well as the general public at large knows them, I would say they fall into that category. The sporting rifle thing.... You know I've got a CMMG piston driven AR. I would NEVER consider taking it into the woods hunting. In my opinon (and it is my personal opinion that I'll probably get raked over the coals for) .223 or 5.56 are ineffective on larger game. I know people that use it for that, but for me I'll pass. And it goes the same way for the AR platform. Outside of a 22" free floating barrel, with a solid stock, and a good scope used for hunting prarie dogs..... it's not a very effective hutning weapon. Mine..... and everyone else that I know that owns one (which is a lot of people) don't use them for hunting. Mine is for "occupational" use, and to protect my home and family. Again.... personal opinion. You say tomato.... I say Tomaato. I don't like the term assault weapon, for an AR, any more than I like someone using the term "bi-polar" for a kid that just needs his butt whipped. But that's just the way it is sometimes. They're not technically correct, but it's easier that trying to educate the uneducated. And I re-read the ignorant comment earlier and realized what you meant. No harm here. [/QUOTE]
