Not true the first select fire assault rifle was invented by a russian in 1917 it was select fire and used the 6.5x50SR Arisaka and was called Fedorov "Avtomat" very few were made but they were sold to the USSR. Long before the Germans even thought of it...
Long story short the "Idea" was originated from the russians almost 30 years prior...
