An M-16, cal .223 (Nato 7.62mm) is most surely an assault weapon.

Note to self, “think before posting”. I meant 5.56 Nato. Sorry for looking like an a$$.

Just curious ... Have you ever, in your entire life, actually touched any rifle, pistol, or shotgun?

I respectfully disagree that the caliber of a bullet is enough to classify it as such.

The M1A is based off of the M14, but I think if anybody tried to classify it as a military grade “assault weapon”, they would be disingenuous.

Prolly someone else has already clarified this, but 223 is not NATO 7.62, it is NATO 5.56.
