You know just as well as I do that one doesn't need a 3 round burst fire option or a fully automatic to go on a shooting rampage. The only then you need is ability to hold as much ammo as you can and in most cases single fire semi auto is the best choice because you don't waste a lot of ammo.

Anyone that honestly tries to say a semi auto single fire is not an assault rifle is full of shit. It might not be a military surplus with selective fire but it's good enough.

We fought WW2 with the M1 Grand, a semi auto single fire long rife with a much smaller clip than any of those pictured.
