Please stop.


This isn't about taxonomy.

The German original is


Sturmgewehr.....

Loosely

"Assault rifle"

That is what the AR-15 was DESIGNED for.

And it was designed only once, though it has been broadly modified.



 

 

AI Overview



The German word Sturmgewehr (literally meaning "storm rifle" or "assault rifle") refers to a selective-fire military rifle that uses an intermediate cartridge and a detachable box magazine. The term originated in World War II with the StG 44 (Sturmgewehr 44), which is widely recognized as the world's first true assault rifle.

The Sporter is not a select fire weapon so it is not an assault rifle.
