In reply to the discussion: So tired of people saying assault rifle's are not a thing. [View all]yagotme
(4,126 posts)34. Just letting you know that the document, like a lot of federal documents,
        is not entirely correct.  1st page, it talks about the Vepr rifle not being included, as "it does not fall within this type
because it does not have the ability to accept a large capacity military magazine."  It has a detachable magazine.  All one has to do is make a 20 round mag for it, and you have a listed arm.  This is why details are important, and to have someone that knows what they are talking about when discussing a particular topic.  When you have a diesel mechanic dicussing ways to regulate appendix removal, you're gonna get some crazy regulations.

        I think the term came out of legislation or regulation that allowed sporting rifles to be imported.
