Wrong!	 The bolt action rifle was MORE powerful than
the assault rifle.   The assault rifle was created
using
a round with less powder, even if it was the same
caliber as the standard bolt action rifle.   Modern
grenades tend to have more explosive power in a
smaller container.

Modern battle rifles have the features of the assault
rifle, I.E. auto fire, select fire as in SLR, L1A1,
G3,
M14.   The AK-47 is a true assault rifle using a
reduced power cartridge.

Bye for now,
