And I am married, so not looking for a date, but to answer your questions; what is your favorite assault rifle? M1 Garand What is your favorite High powered bolt action military rifle? NONE (although I have an Arisaka and won't kick any gun out of the safe except to upgrade my collection) What is your favorite Submachine gun? THOMPSON, DO YOU HAVE ONE YOU CAN SHIP TO ME? Besides a Simpson Luger and Kreighoff, WHAT is the one Luger you would DIE to aquire..... NOBODY MADE A SIMPSON , I own the lowest number known Simson, a Krieg would be fine, but more interested in a 1926 Simson Do you like The Rolling Stones and The Doors? Not really . . .

I did not know that the M1 Garand was an assault rifle.

It depends on if you are looking for the black rifle version of the tale, then it would have to include a detachable magazine.
I think I would be fine against a couple of zombies w/ AR-15s if I have my Garand and my son by my side

The M14 could be considered an assault rifle by todays standard. Like ED, I will take my M1 Garand with 30.06 armor piercing against most anything on four wheels rolling down my block.

A lot of WWII Marines in the Pacific might disagree with you!

Sorry, but we do not need to give the anti gun people support. (From Wikipedia) An assault rifle is a selective fire (selectable between semi-auto and fully automatic) rifle (capable of being fired from the shoulder) that uses an intermediate cartridge and a detachable magazine.[1][2][3][4] 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. Examples of assault rifles include the Kalashnikov family, M16 rifle, M14, SA80, G36, FN F2000, and the Steyr AUG.

Nice that they forgot the 'mother of all assault rifles' (and the rifle that gave them their name) the Sturmgewehr 44.

well Charlie, considering that anyone can add to Wikipedia (unless someone has asked that subject be closed), then anyone can write whatever they want.
Assault rifle is a newer term, but I stick with my original comment that it depends on the person's interpretation on what is or is not a assault rifle. And yes, the normal definition is as you said above. That said, it usually includes the definition of a high powered round, and yet NJ says that a M1 carbine is an evil weapon.... Ed |

Well Ed Do you want the NJ type laws to be adopted in other states, etc. ? Remember also, that Saturday night Specials also included 1st generation Colt SSAs. When we start adopting and using the terminology of the anti gun people we are cutting our own throats. So when PA decides to ban assault weapons and includes the M1 Garand in the definition, they can, as a part of the rationale, use your, Hugh's and others statements as a part of the basis. After all, even the pro gun people believe and say they are (the evil) assault weapons.

Ed, I can't believe you don't like The Rolling Stones and The Doors? Course you are 10 years younger?
The Garand was a BATTLE rifle and one of the best on the Planet during WW2. It was meant for single aimed accurate shots at a distance. It was not intended for use as a submachine gun...Like the AK47 can be used ...as well as aimed single shots. The M2 carbine could be more appropriately called an assault rifle because of it's high capacity magazine and the ability to fire full auto. Gerben is correct, the Sturmgewehr 44 was an amazing platform but IMO not all that different than the MP18 or MP40. The round was small ..I am not sure it could reach too much further or be that much more effective than a 9MM at close range.

I was a DJ for WSOU South Orange during college at Seton Hall University and got to meet all of the New York radio celebrities. I lost my job after me and my engineer put on Eric Claptons' Layla. We put it on ran down stair to blow a doobie listening to our station to give us time to run back to the mike! Unfortunatle we locked ourselves out. We then heard the bird churpin on the very end of the song. Then the dreded skip, skip skip, 'DEAD AIR! There went my career in radio!
