The AK-47 is classified as an assault rifle, not a submachine gun (SMG). It was developed by Mikhail Kalashnikov in the late 1940s and is chambered in 7.62×39mm, which is a rifle cartridge. Assault rifles are designed to provide a balance of power, range, and automatic or semi-automatic firing capability. In contrast, submachine guns typically use pistol-caliber ammunition and are intended for close-range engagements. The AK-47’s ability to switch between semi-automatic and fully automatic fire, along with its use of an intermediate cartridge, clearly places it in the assault rifle category. It is known for its durability, simplicity, and effectiveness in various combat conditions, making it one of the most widely recognized firearms in the world.

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.
Have never heard of an underwater assault rifle. In the US, you must be 18 to buy a rifle, and 21 to buy a fully automatic rifle.
