One question: why is it called an "assault rifle" ? Are there other kinds of rifle used for non-assault purposes ? Friendly-greeting rifles ?

Historical whatnots aside, I suspect it's "assault" in the sense of capturing some target as opposed to fighting from a fixed position. So you won't need as much long ranged shooting accuracy but you will want a lighter, wieldier weapon if possible.

Ah. Yes. That makes sense. More of a "sortie rifle" :)
