Assault Weapons !!!!!! Post them here!
 

I want to make a list of American assault weapons. Hopefully we can ban them all once they are "listed". I'll start. The first American Assault Weapon:

The Kentucky Rifle

This was one of Americas first true assault weapons it was used by the first US military and was also in the hands of the first "American civilians"!

I'm pretty surprised the general public was allowed to use such a devastating assault weapon!

The Springfield Trapdoor was one of the first weapons of war capable of mass killing.:rolleyes:

I offer the Henry Repeating Rifle. Introduced just in time for the Civil War, with 16 rounds, it was the rifle you can load on Monday and shoot till Sunday....A rifle you can shoot all week without reloading? That there is a true assault rifle...

Can't forget the Sharps rifle either.

...mankinds original assault weapon: the club

May I introduce the assault shotgun, father of the venerable assault rifle, capable of firing a variety of bullets from balls to handfuls of sharp objects. It didnt have a clip, but one could carry a bag of nails and rocks and making it was a high capacity assault shotgun.

Does this qualify?

Assault weapon! Make no bones about it.

The Spencer Repeating Rifle also came as a carbine. Issued to some troops during the CW.

Attachment 32511

Let's not forget the Indian war club and the Tomahawk !:D

A ManCave must.. :lifter

YMMV :D

Sarissa

Make sure you use the socialist/media term else this thread makes no sense. ;)

One Assault Weapon that was made into a Sniper rifle!

Mine jammed a couple of weeks ago. Here's my exchange with their assault weapon gunsmith:

Great costumer service! :D

Pat

Nope, I'm a member of that org. and, as they say, 'came to be known as' because at the time of the Revolution there was no Kentucky per se.....they were just known as long rifles and originated in Pennsylvania and Virginia.

And, yes, you can do your push ups on the lay a way plan.

That's what laymen call an early long rifle...much like most call a semi auto M4 an assault rifle bada bing...:)

Leonardo and the original assault weapon circa 1500!
:munchin

How about the Browning Auto 5? It was one of the first semi-automatic shotguns available to the American public when it was introduced around the turn of the last century. Loaded with buckshot it was a formidable weapon, just ask Bonnie and Clyde. :D

Audie Murphy preferred killing power * of the WW2 vintage M-1 Carbine.

* Killing Power equivalent of a modern 9x19mm.

Sorry can't download a picture.

Mosin-Nagant 1891 and onwards to the M59 Carbine.

Probably have killed more people by more people in more places worldwide than anything the liberals consider dangerous.

Actually, the M1 Carbine far exceeds the 9mm and .357 Magnum ballistically.

M1 carbine: 1900fps and 964 lb-ft.
.357 Magnum (4"): ~1300fps and 600 ft-lbs
9mm (my load): 1100fps and 334 lb-ft

After a stick...

Smallpox.

The is an example of the non-black, small capacity rifle that should please all the Liberals Right?

Beautiful, right down to the Leopold scope.

Here's one to offend the offensive; even has that horrible & deadly detachable shoulder thingy!
:eek:

The deadly Girandoni. Used by LAC expedition. The first repeating rifle of any kind to see military service.

Thanks for that one. A recent long treatment I read (much based on expedition journals) indicates several of the tribes encountered were quite fascinated by that.

One more and this one does not need any background check :eek: and in the sunlight its deadly projectiles reflect light just like deadly tracers :eek: and it's still available by mail order just like :eek: Lee Harvey Oswald's Manlicker-Cinzano! Even the Army used it in a program called Quick :eek: Kill.

You know you will shoot your eye out with that.

I think this is the first assault weapon ... (Cain v. Abel)

Here's a picture of mine ... which is really my pet.

Don't hate it because it's black, please ....

1854 Treeby Chain Gun - 14 Shot Rifle....The Original 'Street Sweeper'.

I know not American, but you know if rocks make the list...

The Mongol Compound Bow

Um.... what about the fine American steel known as the automobile?:eek::rolleyes:

How about the atl-atl?

An assault weapon accessible to children!! Won't someone think of the children?!!:eek:
