The standard infantry weapon of British troops from World War I to the 1956 Suez crisis, the Lee-Enfield SMLE (pronounced "smelly") built its reputation on reliability, accuracy and a phenomenal rate of fire. Its magazine carried 10 bullets, the largest capacity of any rifle on the battlefield during the first half of the 20th century. Its short bolt action cocked on closing, and its muzzle cap prevented dirt from clogging the weapon. In the hands of a well-trained infantryman, the Lee-Enfield could perform what was called the "mad minute," i.e., thirty rounds hitting a target 200 meters distant in one minute, a volume of fire that rivals modern semiautomatic weapons.

The fn 2000, is clearly an assault rife.
The p90 is considered a compact assault rifle.
Both rifles use a bullpup configuration where the action is behind the trigger action, making both rifles as accurate as a traditional rifle configuration, but because the barrel extends behind the trigger it makes both of them compact compared to a normal rifle.

I'm absolutely sure you will be on the news soon for killing your family and yourself. Why do men find masculinity in weapons? Why not use your Dorito stained fingers and kill something with your own hands?
Oh no, can't do that......only a weapon makes you feel like a man. You certainly could not kill a deer by running up on it and strangling it. Pathetic.
Hunting, what a joke. When you kill something with a double barrel shotgun, people call it hunting? It's a butcher with a gun! Ask the American Indians how they did it. Also ask them about the spiritual process of killing another animal for their own needs.
Guns are only good for revolution and self protection. Testosterone here is too thick.
No one fights hand to hand combat anymore because we are too dang fat and lazy. No manhood here in this forum. I hate this forum. Full of whimp's. Yet I felt compelled to reply.

You know, indians hunt with firearms now and have since they were introduced to them by traders in the mid-1500s. And yeah, I might be a wimp - I carry a Colt 1911 everywhere I go. But get this: you're a gigantic pussy compared to anybody with a gun, if you don't have one.
There is no honor in assaulting people. You will just get your sorry guts blown all over the place these days if you attack people with your pathetic fists of fury. This is as it should be. I'm sorry that you don't feel safe assaulting people any more - must be hard to keep your temper when you have poor impulse control. You must though - you never know if somebody is packing these days.

Actually the P90 is classified as a PDW, and the FS2000 is an assault rifle.

Makes perfect sense. You were whining about how nobody fist fights any more, and how indians were against firearms. I destroyed both assertions.

The AK is a good, cheap rifle for simple people. They are cheap and easy to produce and fire well enough when they are dirty. They go BANG when they are supposed to and they are easy to disassemble and assemble. But they are a nightmare to keep clean since the cheap materials used in their construction rust BADLY. Not an issue as long as you are NEVER around moisture. Accuracy is barely acceptable on semi for targets out to 200 meters and if you are lucky then as far out as 300 meters you have a 50/50 chance of hitting a man sized target. Forget about full auto.
Civilians that have no REAL hands on knowledge of military weapons like them because they are cheap,they look cool and they read a few cool articles about them.
The M1 and M1a are the best combat rifles. Followed by the FAL and the M16 series. The M16 series does have the major downfall of the weak 5.56 round but it is made up in ergonomics. The M-4 is crap due to the too short barrel and resulting drastic loss of velocity. Barrels at least 20" in length should be the standard for this round.
If you ever actually have to go to battle then only a moron internet ninja would choose an AK over the M1/M1a/FAL/M16 or even the HK 91.
