Lets be realistic. These are semi-automatic weapons... PERIOD. They are only assault weapons if we choose to assault someone with them. If all they ever get used for is hunting then they are hunting weapons, no different than any other semi auto out there save for looks. the only reason there is any controversy is the "assault" tag. They are designed for quick handling and high volume shooting, it just makes sense to use them in any hunting situation where that is possible or probable.
If I were to wear fatigues and carry a military style rifle would I be a soldier? No I would just be some guy in fatigues with a military style rifle. Never judge a book by its cover.
gday diamondhitch ,
ldont believe l was judging a book by its cover mate.
in america where your semi auto weapons ,are common place .it is l guess acceptable for each and everyone to use / own one or more of these firarms .
in australia where the only place we see semi auto firearms , is in the militry and police, mate .
they used to allow them , but a few wankers wanted to be famous and no more of that rubbish needs to be said ,
where you guys say hunting weapons in australia we say hunting firearms .
where you guys say millitary weapons , we say assault firearms .
where you may say its only an assault weapon if used to assault some body
where in australia our hunting firearms are only weapons when used to assault some body .
and i rekon if l seen some bloke in fatigues carrying an assalut (millitary ) firearm (weapon ) riffle i'd nearly bet he was a soldier
look ive already appoligised for the terminology , but i never meant to upset anybody .
its just the different ways we speak
and if l was allowed to have one of thgem bad ass looking riffles , dont you worry ,id have some playtime with it in a hart beat .
