Doesn't "Military Style Assault Rifle" just mean a rifle that can only shoot one bullet per trigger pull and just has an outside design to resemble military weaponry? The difference here in the US is based on the number of shots per trigger pull. Anything that only fires one round is essentially just a rifle.



Someone could shoot up a crowd with either one of these....is the resistance to the bottom one just because of the style?

That is what I thought. Who can confirm that it only shoots one bullet per trigger?.
