Can this be considered the first assault rilfe?

Can this be considered the first assault rilfe?
It's got the detachable magazine and the intermediate round, not sure if it is select-fire or fully automatic only.
The bipod seems to indicate that it wasn't intended to fill a typical assault rifle role however.
So what's the /verdict/

    Maybe it can be considered an assault rifle but it was never put into production and was never used in combat for that role.

      Stg 44 and Fedorov are the only ones that could argue as being "First Assault rifles" the M1 maybe could qualify AS an assault rifle if you are using ban state thinking + numbers used.

          Makes sense, the basic idea of an automatic rifle using an intermediate cartridge died with the StG44 and as we all know, full caliber semi auto rifles like the M14 and SKS would dominate as the standard military firearm to this day.

Its design appears to be dictated by production rather than by military considerations. Though far from a satisfactory weapon, it is apparent that Germany's unfavorable military situation makes necessary the mass production of this weapon, rather than of a machine carbine of a more satisfactory pattern.”

                Compared to standard issue rifles that were also wood, bolt action, and had internal non detachable magazines fed by stripperclips of which only one (1) matched the capacity of the M1.

                As for the other countries semi-auto rifles, only the Russians was worth a damn, the Germans fielded a shittier knock off of the Russians, and the Japs and Brits fielded none at all. Really, of all these only the SVT 40 was worth a damn, and functionally it had a lot of issues when actually introduced to the field that the Garand simply did not.

                And again, even those that did issue semi auto rifles, none could do it on the scale of making it the standard service rifle. Snowflake shit the the STG44 and FG42 were designed mid- conflict and weren't fielded in any numbers to make a difference. As for an effective design that was proven and could be issued en mass the M1 was it, the other nations issued "archaic" bolt action rifles and submachineguns.

      Where does the C96 carbine fit in

      I'd go with the STG-44 as first "true" assault rifle. But there were many weapons before it that fit the basic design features (detach mags, select fire, intermediate cartridge) but not as much the doctrinal stuff. The EPK (Pyrkal) machine gun of prewar Greece had basicaly the same cartridge as the STG, but firing faster (7.92x36 firing at 2700). It was more intended to fill a SAW/LMG role, though, so it's more akin to a Lewis gun, doctrinally.

    You can see the fire selector on the side, it's select fire.
    The Ribeyrolles, like the Fedorov, was an automatic rifle in the vein of the BAR. Both used a less powerful cartridge, with the Ribeyrolles definitely being an intermediate (less so the Fedorov).
    However, being straight blowback with a semi-rimmed cartridge, it's nothing like what most would consider an assault rifle. It also wasn't intended as one, rather, as an automatic rifle. So I'd say it isn't one, but there's evidene in favor.

        fedorov designed the gun as a lightweight take on the Chauchat design, in fact the round he desired was more powerful than 6.5 Jap they ended up using.

        the confusion with it largely comes from the terminology soviets later reused for their assault rifle to cover up for their blatant copying of foreigners. by calling assault rifles with the name some guy picked for his gun they could claim "see, it's 100% our patriotic domestic development based on our howegrown gunsmithing tradition!".

          In fact the cartridge he designed was in the power range of the NGSW (from longer barrel though) 130 grains at 950m/s. In no way it was intermediate. It was 6.5mm fast magnum.
          6.5 Jap was just cope of Russia's inability to produce his design (actually not just his it was committee designed round he was member of that committee).

          Isn't that due to the long barrel?

          It's still a pretty heavy round. 21-23 grams.
          A 5.56 is typically 12-13 grams.
          A 7.62 16-17 grams.

          The other WW2 full sized rifle rounds roughly 26-28 grams.
          7.62 NATO is roughly 24-25 grams.

          And now it's time to laugh.
          A .45ACP weighs as much as a 6.5x50, truly the worst of the pistol rounds.
