An ''']''' is a ] that uses an ], a ], and can switch between ]/]. Assault rifles are currently the standard ]s in most modern armies.

By strict definition, a firearm must have the following characteristics to be considered an assault rifle:<ref>{{cite book|first1=C.|last1=Taylor|title=The Fighting Rifle: A Complete Study of the Rifle in Combat|isbn=0-87947-308-8}}</ref>{{pn|date=July 2018}}<ref>{{cite book|first1=F.A. |last1=Moyer|title=Special Forces Foreign Weapons Handbook|isbn=0-87364-009-8}}</ref>{{pn|date=July 2018}}<ref>{{cite book|first1=R.J.|last1=Scroggie|first2=Frank A.|last2=Moyer|title=Special Forces Combat Firing Techniques|date=December 1988|isbn=0-87364-010-1}}</ref>{{pn|date=July 2018}}

* It must be an individual weapon;
* It must be capable of ], which means it has the capacity to switch between ] and ]/];<ref>{{Britannica|39165|Assault rifle}}</ref>
* It must have an intermediate-power cartridge: more power than a ] but less than a standard ] or ]. For full-power automatic rifles, see ];
* Its ] must be supplied from a detachable box magazine;
* It should have an effective range of at least {{convert|300|m|yd|abbr=off}}.
* Some Of Assault Rifles Are On Full Power Catridge. Anyways, Like The Fedorov Avtomat And The SHAK12, It’s ok.

Rifles that meet most of these criteria, but not all, are technically not assault rifles, despite frequently being called such.

For example:
* Select-fire ]s and ]s aren't assault rifles; their effective range is only 200 yards.<ref>''Jane's Gun Recognition Guide''. Ian Hogg & Terry Gander. HarperCollins Publishers. 2005. page 330</ref>
* Select-fire rifles such as the ] ] aren't assault rifles; they fire full-powered rifle cartridges.
* Semi-automatic-only rifles like the ] aren't assault rifles; they do not have select-fire capabilities. In contrast, the original ] would meet the criteria.
* Semi-automatic-only rifles with fixed magazines like the ] aren't assault rifles; they do not have detachable box magazines and are not capable of automatic fire.

Several of the rifles on the below list have non-Assault Rifle variants. Because they lack the selective fire capability as they only fire semi-automatic even though it fulfils the other requirements of the definition above.
<!-- If you wish to add an assault rifle then please do so alphabetically. If you are unsure how to, then please add it to the talk page and I will do it for you. If you want to edit a mistake etc, please follow the current layout. This list is clearly incomplete and I invite you to add any assault rifle which isn't there. Enjoy! -->
