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.

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.
