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.

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...

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.

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

Assault Weapons!
Make sure you use the socialist/media term else this thread makes no sense. 
I want it searchable as these are what some green berets think of as American Assault Weapons!
One Assault Weapon that was made into a Sniper rifle!
The 1903A3
