They both are capable of automatic fire but a machine gun is a "crew-served" weapon while an assault rifle can be used by a single soldier. It generally uses a cartridge smaller than a machine gun and a rifle but larger than a sub-machine gun cartridge, which is a pistol cartridge. In Nazi Germany, they wanted a weapon that was fully automatic, but at the same time, as accurate as the rifle. So they came up with the MP-44 or sturmgewehr 44. The first EVER assault rifle. that's a fact.The AK-47 is probably the most widely known example of a modern assault rifle.
