“Technically you are right by virtue it uses a 45ACP, but that would be the same as saying any assault rifle using a pistol round cannot be called thus like the Uzi or an MP40.”

****

The original “assault rifle”, i.e. “sturmgewehr 43/44” did not use a pistol cartridge nor a full-sized rifle cartridge...it used a modifieid cartridge, i.e. the 8mm “Kurz” or “short round”.

I suppose to gun grabbers, any firearms that sounds like “rat-tat-tat-tat-tat” or “budda-duh, budda-duh” (Sorry, SGT FURY fans), they’re all the same.

The .222 was used years before the .223 came out and it would kill deer(at reasonable ranges) like lightning.

I have shot a .222 with a 24-inch barrel, and it was extremely accurate.

Technically all those (the Thompson, the Uzi, and the MP40) were classified as machine pistols, or submachineguns, because they were all chambered in pistol cartridges...

That is why I mentioned the CETME (German design)

The Germans of WWII will be surprised to hear that.

Given that they defined the term "assault rifle," you are 100% correct...
