my head hurts.... I will stick to bolt action rifles based on military actions BAROMA ...sounds like a beer

I don't understand what your getting at???
I may be wrong but it seems to me you think a rifle is an assault rifle because soldiers may have used them to assault a position?
It has nothing to do with how they are employed, it is what they're classed as according to military doctrine.

The term wasn't around until the Germans used the STG-44.
An assault rifle by definition must have selective fire, use an intermediate cartridge and use detachable magazines.
