Wikipedia: Assault rifle
An assault rifle is a selective-fire rifle that uses an intermediate cartridge and a detachable magazine. Assault rifles were first used during World War II. Though Western nations were slow to accept the assault rifle concept after World War II, by the end of the 20th century they had become the standard weapon in most of the world’s armies, replacing semi-automatic rifles, battle rifles and sub-machine guns in most roles.[8] Examples include the StG 44, AK-47 and the M16 rifle.
