A Brief History of the Assault Rifle - The Atlantic
'The name “assault rifle” is believed to have been coined by Adolf Hitler. '
'At the beginning of the 19th century, soldiers in Europe fought battles exposed in full view of the enemy. '
'A Sturmgewehr, he called the new gun: a “storm” or “assault” weapon. '
'Amid the controversy over assault rifles—and specifically, the debate over whether or not guns like the semi-automatic weapon Omar Mateen used to commit the recent massacre in Orlando should be considered “assault weapons” or singled out for restrictions—some consideration of the original design and development of assault weapons is useful. '
'Often they moved, stood, or charged in lines or in close formations, in coordination with cavalry and artillery, mostly in the open. '
