Correct, when Hitler named the Sturmgewehr. It was a weapon that fired an intermediate round, and because of this was capable of controled full auto fire.
Later on came the battle rifle, IE the M14, G3, FN Fal.
I prefer just to make fun of all the limp wristed anti gun liberals and call them evil black rifles.
Since thats the weapon that gets their panties all twisted.
