What Combination of Two Assault Rifles Matches Your Personality?

About This Quiz

Ask anyone who has handles enough firearms and they'll tell you every gun has a distinct personality. Some guns are very much a product of the time of their genesis: the assault weapons invented by the US after WW2 reflected a realization that having a high-caliber assault rifle didn't make sense in the way wars were fought, especially when you're talking about an army that has automatic weapons. The Tommy Gun was thus replaced, and the M-16 became the grandfather of all modern-day American assault weapons.

Go back to the Revolutionary War, and assault weapons were little different from hunting weapons; accurate only at close range and at that, only about 40% of the time, since few of them would have rifling. Today, the hand cannon has come a long way, going from a curiosity of elite European sportsmen to machines capable of manufacturing death on a scale appropriate to an age when social media can pinpoint your tastes with 90% accuracy.

Some guns were made for specific purposes, are hyper-focused on their intended purposes and have little use elsewhere. DARPA and Israel have each showed off guns that shoot around corners, or fire special rounds that lock onto a target and follow them like a heat-seeking missile. From the crude Browning Automatic Rifle, still in service, to the most advanced polycarbonate and ceramic rifles, assault rifles are as unique as people. Which two rifles make up your personality?
