Most military small arms globally are not fully automatic. Including the assault rifles being discussed as such. Which increasingly top out at a multi-round bust. This includes the US military’s AR15 derivatives, where the m4 is burst and the m4a1 is full auto, which one is issued where being determined by need or demands of a particular branch. Their main use is semi-automatic as that burst (or full auto) capability is intended for use situationally. Either supressing fire where you might otherwise use a light machine gun, or the very close sort of shooting where you might otherwise use a sub machine gun. Basically it exists to obviate carrying additional guns that are better at that stuff.
More over the AR-15 was designed for the military, based on military theories and aims, to fulfill a specific military capability.
What else does “military grade” mean than that? And yeah military derived accessory rails for military style accessories, as well as flash hiders, extended magazines, light weight stocks and what have. All designed to make it a more effective weapon for the military, and most originally marketed towards military members as upgrades and add ons to their duty weapons. A good number of these civilian guns ship with bayonet lugs and the mounts for grenade launchers.
That’s a bullshit, semantic argument. You and everyone one else knows exactly what’s meant by “military grade” and “military style”. Harping that it doesn’t have a formal definition, and narrowing in on automatic fire as defining in all things every time this come up, no matter the term or precise subject is just attempting to dodge the problem. There is a real reason those things are a dangerous in a way other sorts of guns aren’t.
And this exact conversation has already happened multiple times up thread. Where multiple people have already pointed out the facts you got wrong.
Then stop buying their spin.
