Modern Day Assault Rifles
AR-15
The AR-15 assault rifle is actually a very popular firearm to have at your home. It is great for target shooting and in some circumstances, hunting. It shoots a .223 Remington/5.56x45mm. It is one of my favorites firearms. It accepts magazine capacities of 10, 30 or 100 rounds.
AK-47
The AK-47 assault rifle is also fairly common. It is widely used throught many countries for military purposes. This gun shoots a round a little different than the .223 Rem, it shoots a 7.62x39mm. Look at the pictures below to see the difference. The .223 has a much higher muzzle velocity than the 7.62/39m but the 7.62x39mm has more energy at close distance. So, higher accuracy and precision or more power and less precision?

P-90
The P-90 is a home defense assault rifle that shoots a 5.7x28mm SS190. It has an RPM of about 900 Rounds Per Minuet. It is a farley common assault rifle but shoots a smaller caliber round.
