In MOST states it is 18 to own any shoulder-fired weapon. In order to own what the military considers an assault rifle, you also have to have a Class 3 Federal Firearms Lisence, but some states and cities definition of an 'assault rifle' includes anything that looks dangerous and NO ONE is allowed to own one there.

An "assualt rifle" is nothing more than a regular semi-automatic rifle with a diffent looking stock. Instead of a traditional wood stock, what people call an "assualt rifle" usually has a black plastic stock and a pistol grip and sometimes a carry handle. In most states you have to be 18 years old to buy a rifle or rifle ammunition and since an assault rifle is functionaly the same as any regular semi-auto hunting rifle then you have to be at least 18 to purchase one... unless your state has different laws.

IF by Assault Rifle you mean an AR-15 or AK-47 style semi-automatic rifle, you must be at least 18 years old to buy one from a dealer.

Difference between a carbine and a assault rifle?

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.
