I hate the term “assault rifle”. If you take a basic mini 14 7.62 mm rifle, put on a flash suppressor and a folding stock it them become an “assault rifle”. It is the same gun, just looks different. The flash suppressor is used to divert the gasses that are expelled in higher power rifles so they don’t have as much jump when fired. that’s it. Instead of the flame coming out straight it comes out the sides of the barrel. :bloated:. So ok, you don’t NEED a 30 round banana clip and an bayonet. But so what. You don’t need a car with 400+ hp either. And they kill more people in 1 year than “assault rifles” do in 5. You are also more likely to die from a doctor fucking up than you are of getting a fatal wound from a gun. Statistics prove this.

Me just being anal… The mini 14 is 5.56nato (.223), and the mini 30 is 7.62.
Regardless, both are badass. I have the mini 14 with a bunch of 30 shot mags. I was able to order them last year from a website called …floridagunworks.com? i can’t remember. I had no problems having them shipped here though.
