[quote="http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/STG+44":95915]The Sturmgewehr 44 (StG44, MP 44/43) was the world's first weapon called a assault rifle

Assault rifle is a specific military term for various types of fully-automatic and select-fire (multi-shot burst) intermediate-power long guns.

Note: this term should not be confused with the loosely-defined term assault weapon, which refers to any of a number of classes of pistols, rifles, and shotguns.
