What was the 1st "assault rifle"?

Modern day (the one labeled First assault rifle) or what was considered an assault rifle in the 19th Century?

I told you I read it.

Read the citation.

I think YOU did not read the citation.  I got the idea to post that FROM THE END OF THE CITATION!!!!    

But anyway, the Army does not think it is an assault weapon.

Any way, from the US Army definition of an assault rifle

The U.S. Army defines assault rifles as "short, compact, selective-fire weapons that fire a cartridge intermediate in power between submachine gun and rifle cartridges."[18] In this strict definition, a firearm must have at least the following characteristics to be considered an assault rifle:[2][3][4]

• It must be capable of selective fire.
• It must have an intermediate-power cartridge: more power than a pistol but less than a standard rifle or battle rifle, examples of intermediate cartridges are the 7.92×33mm Kurz, the 7.62×39mm and 5.56×45mm NATO.
• Its ammunition must be supplied from a detachable box magazine.[5]
• It must have an effective range of at least 300 metres (330 yards).

Rifles that meet most of these criteria, but not all, are not assault rifles according to the U.S. Army's definition. For example:

• Semi-automatic-only rifles like the Colt AR-15 are not assault rifles; they do not have select-fire capabilities.
