And fyi, the ATF classifies semi automatic AK/AR pattern rifles as Assault Rifles, even if semi-auto, anything that is select fire is considered a Machine gun.

Having filled out a ton of class III paperwork for both machine gun, suppressor, and short barrel rifles, their distinction, political distinction, and media distinction.. not wikipedia (And when did that become a reliable source for anything?) is the only relevant definition.
wikipedia is only one source I used, fall back on that as "omg it's wiki anyone can edit" if you want, there are 2 other sources that state the exact same thing.

Yea usually people contribute to debates with experiences outside of what they googled 10 minutes ago.

I had the only fully auto lower in my unit. And it was on a MK12 DMR.

So you're telling me, no one had an M16 or an Assault Rifle?

Also all the AR-15 I've seen in this thing I call "real-life" are more like M4s than M16s but then again I don't play on words so I chose not to mention that until now.

you're telling me that all of your buddies were using weapons without select-fire capabilities, then yes, by definition, they were using semi-automatic rifles without select-fire capabilities and thus weren't using an Assault rifle.

assault rifle 
noun
1.
a military rifle capable of both automatic and semiautomatic fire, utilizing an intermediate-power cartridge.

2.
a nonmilitary weapon modeled on the military assault rifle, usually modified to allow only semiautomatic fire.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assault_rifle
An assault rifle is a select-fire (either fully automatic or burst capable) rifle that uses an intermediate cartridge and a detachable magazine. It is not to be confused with assault weapons.[1] Assault rifles are the standard service rifles in most modern armies. Assault rifles are categorized in between light machine guns, which are intended more for sustained automatic fire in a light support role, and submachine guns, which fire a pistol cartridge rather than a rifle cartridge.

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/assault+rifle

Military firearm that is chambered for ammunition of reduced size or propellant charge and has the capacity to switch between semiautomatic and fully automatic fire. Light and portable, yet able to deliver a high volume of fire with reasonable accuracy at modern combat ranges of 1,000–1,600 ft (300–500 m), assault rifles have become the standard infantry weapon of modern armies. Their ease of handling makes them ideal for mobile assault troops crowded into personnel carriers or helicopters, as well as for guerrilla fighters engaged in jungle or urban warfare. Widely used assault rifles are the U.S. M16, the Soviet Kalashnikov (the AK-47 and modernized versions), the Belgian FAL and FNC, and the German G3.

Would you like to know more, because your stupids are showing.
M16s and M4s in the Army aren't capable of automatic fire without modification.

I guess the M4 we used in Iraq and shit aren't assault rifles?

I'm sure you have an issue recognizing the different variations. Considering you used the generalized term AR-15 (which can be a magnitude of different weapons), I used the generalized term of M-16 (which is the original military variation of the AR-15).

Huh, who would have thought?
