There is no "most powerful"... It's all about the terminal ballistics of the round the gun fires, a 5.45 won't be more damaging out of one assault rifle than the other. But the intermediate cartridge that has the most damage potential today would be the 5.56. (First used in the M16) Newer mk318 mod0 5.56 is far less velocity dependent, allowing it to fragment more reliably out of shorter barrels. When hit with the speedy 5.56, it penetrates a few inches, then breaks in half, it will proceed to tumble and fragment, creating far bigger wound cavities than any other intermediate cartridge.

What is the most effective assault rifle?

"Kalashnikov AK-47 AKM Assault Rifle" Is the most effective assault rifle yet invented, of course, there are many versions of this rifle, but it is powerful, cheap, deadly, and pretty much accurate on an assault-range. ^^^ Wrong.... wrong on so many levels. The AK47 and AKM are two different rifles. The AKM is an improved version. And its main weakness is that it fires that terrible 7.62 round... The AK74 is a completely superior gun. More accurate, better ballistics with the 5.45 round, less recoil, lighter etc.

Who made 308 assault rifle?

The .308 was too powerful for an assult rifle, but the US Army gave it their best try in the 1960's, equipping the M14 rifle with numerous modifications to make it into an assault rifle. As a squad auto weapon it was probably quite adequate, but the .308 was just too powerful a round for use in weapons defined as assault rifles. If other armies tried to develop an assult rifle using the .308 cartridge, nothing ever came of it to the best knowledge of this contributor.
