Assault Rifles were only introduced at the absolute end of WWII by the Nazi's in the form of the STG-44 (Also know as MP-44). They didn't make an enourmous change in warfare as machine-guns had, however they did prove to be a very succesful fire-arm. Overall their late arrival and limited deployment made it that assault rifles had quite little affect on the war overall, however, this was the first appreance of them in combat. Also of note would be the FG-42, a weapon of similar concept to the STG-44 used by the Nazi Parratroopers, (The Falschirmjagers).
