Keep in mind Assault weapon is a made up term by the gunophobes.  They can't use Assault Rifle because that basically is defined as a lightweight, select fire automatic rifle that fires an intermediate cartridge.
Never been in combat, and I've never seen a semi-auto AR-15 in any armory either.
 
 

 

In the Army everyone is assigned a personal weapon which of course is in the arms room until needed for the field, training, range, etc.  For instance Aviation Crews and Tank Crews were assigned sidearms.  During my time it was either the 45, 38 or 9mm.  Most everyone else got the m 16 A-whatever. But I also have never seen a Semi Auto AR stye weapon in the Arms room,
