Hitler coined the term "assault rifle", at least the German language equivalent of it.

right. SG44....Sturmgewehr 44...ancestor of all modern “assualt weapons”. the phrase “sturmgewehr” was used by hitler to describe this new type of weapon.

They are quite rare these days....ironically, one surfaced at a CT gun buyback a couple of days before the Sandy Hook shootings.
