I hate to invade, but I've been lurking, and I'm curious.
I catch some of those 'History of the Gun' or whatever shows on History Channel every now and then, but I'm not 'up' on my weaponry.

Do most people misidentify assault-rifles (per the definitions show in this thread) as machine guns? I kind of thought that any rifle that was fully automatic was a machine gun... if that's not the case, what defines a machine gun vs a fully automatic assault rifle?

Not that I simply MUST know, but I'm bored and this debate sort of caught my attention...

Ballistically illiterate,
Michelle
