......Well, technically not wrong, but also wrong. I think some moron at the WA Post did a 5 minute google search on the history of the assault rifle and decided this is the truth, when it's not really.

The CONCEPT of the assault rifle was invented by the nazi's (STG44), but in all due reality I'd contest that it was perfected by the Russians with the AK platform, and then we tried to catch up with them using the genius of Eugene Stoner after it was decided that the battle rifle concept (FAL, M14, etc.) was outdated. Which is kind of funny since the Army is now replacing the M4/M16 with what amounts to a modern version of the BAR. Suddenly the FAL seems like a good idea again.

So they ARE wrong, but I think it's because they got actual facts mixed up in their rush and stupidity.

The CONCEPT of the assault rifle

What do you consider the definition of an assault rifle is and how does it different from other semi-automatic rifles?

By definition an assault rifle is capable of fully automatic fire. AR-15 is semi-automatic.
