Replica Assault Rifles

The changing landscape of the battlefield has led to technological advancement in weaponry. As weapons evolve, the delicate balance of warfare shifts to those who carry the more sophisticated weapons. This is the concept behind the invention of the assault rifle. An assault rifle is a selective fire rifle or carbine which typically fires ammunition in succession with muzzle energies and sizes usually larger than those of a handgun. Assault rifles are categorized between light machine guns, intended more for sustained automatic fire in a support role, and submachine guns, which fire a handgun cartridge rather than a rifle cartridge. Assault rifles are the standard small arms in most modern armed forces, having largely replaced the slow reloading rifles of the pre World War era. In this section, DungeonKnight pays tribute to the first true assault rifles in modern warfare starting with an exact replica of the AK-47. It effectively became the basis for the development of many other types of assault rifles used in the modern era. Some of the replica assault rifles you see here are based on the AK-47 while the rest are U.S. versions. Whatever model you end up buying, be proud to hang it on your collection room for all to see.
