In 5.56x45, the CM901 and M16 are an even match. In 7.62x39 and 7.62x51, the CM901 is considerably more powerful.
if you mean as opposed to a musket the rifling inside the barrel causes the bullet to spin which makes much more powerful and accurate. as opposed to a pistol, smg, lmg, or sniper rifle, an assault rifle is usually about 6-8 pounds which makes it easier to maneuver than an lmg or sniper, but more powerful than a pistol or smg
An assault rifle is a rifle that has more than 22'' inches of barrel and has selective firing rate, while the carbine rifle has a less 22'' inches barrel and semi automatic. ^^ Wrong.. An assault rifle is any select fire rifle that is chambered for an intermediate cartridge... Barrel length has nothing to do with it. The M16 has a 20" barrel length and is considered an assault rifle. The AK47 has a 16" barrel and is considered an assault rifle... Carbines that are select fire and chambered in an intermediate cartridge are still considered assault rifles.
First, it is rifle, not riffle. Second, no, or we would shoot tanks with a rifle. Cannon are more powerful. Finally, depends on the rifle. I have a .22 rifle and a .44 magnum pistol. The pistol is far more powerful than the rifle. I also have a .22 pistol, and a 30-06 rifle. The rifle is far more powerful than the pistol (in THAT example).
"Kalashnikov AK-47 AKM Assault Rifle" Is the most effective assault rifle yet invented, of course, there are many versions of this rifle, but it is powerful, cheap, deadly, and pretty much accurate on an assault-range. ^^^ Wrong.... wrong on so many levels. The AK47 and AKM are two different rifles. The AKM is an improved version. And its main weakness is that it fires that terrible 7.62 round... The AK74 is a completely superior gun. More accurate, better ballistics with the 5.45 round, less recoil, lighter etc.
In simple terms, there is no ONE best. Different rifles have different characteristics, and it is a matter of opinion. All assault rifle's are created for multiple purposes. No one assault rifle is the best in all characteristics, but there are rifles like the PSD assault rifle that has more punch and still a normal recoil. no weapon is perfect, but some are balanced and are very good.
A TRUE Assault Rifle is legally a machine gun. They are used by military and by specialized security forces, and shot by a very few collectors that can afford a several thousand dollar rifle. What people are CALLING an Assault Rifle, such as the AR-15, is nothing more than a semi automatic rifle. They are used for hunting, target shooting, and self defense.
In halo reach there is some small moderations. The Rifle is slighty more accurate and has a new visual upgrade. But the assault rifle in Halo 3 is much better becuase it has more ammo (the rifle in reach only has 32 and the rifle in halo 3 has 60) and is the original version.
30-06 is much more powerful.

Yes. Pump, Spring and PCP (PreCharged Pneumatic) are all more powerful than a C02 system
No. The function of it is what makes it an assault rifle. An assault rifle fires an intermediate cartridge and has a select fire option (either auto or burst). In the political sense, the determination of what made a so-called "civilian assault weapon" was determined by the BATF (now BATFE) based on the presence of two or more cosmetic features (such as bayonet lugs, pistol grips, and flash suppressors).
Assault rifle is a legal term, and laws vary place to place. Under MOST of them, it is a centerfire semi-auto rifle larger than 22 caliber, with a removeable magazine that holds more than 10 rounds, and a pistol grip. The SKS does not have a pistol grip, and has a fixed 10 round magazine. Not an assault rifle.
