26. "Assault rifles" aren't very good for deer
You don't want to go spraying full-auto at a deer. You may have been thinking "assault weapons" which is, honestly, a BS term loaded to get people emotional and not-thinking. A couple cosmetic tweaks can turn a regular rifle into an "assault weapon."

In any case, most aren't very good for deer since they use an intermediate round that often isn't powerful enough to take down a deer, and they are not allowed for deer hunting in many states for that reason. They are great for smaller game and varmints though, and just plain-old plinking at targets.
