German word " Sturmgewehr" (which translates to "assault rifle")
"Traditional definition" of assault rifle.
Noun.
a military rifle capable of both automatic and semiautomatic fire, utilizing an intermediate-power cartridge.

Keep in mind the word AND. Those AK47s sold in America are "modern sporting rifles" and not capable of automatic fire, they are only semi like any other hunting rifle. They just look scary to hoplophobes.
