    Sure, but the rifle in question is not, and has never been a military weapon. The premise is that this is a “weapon of war”, as the redcoats like to describe it.

    Besides, the “assault-style features” are purely cosmetic and have no bearing on the functionality of the rifle.

      If they’re just cosmetic and have no bearing on the functionality, does that make whoever uses them a lamewad cosplayer?

      Yes, thank you for this demonstration of pedantism.
