There is no authoritative source defining an assault rifle as having the mandatory feature of full automatic fire. This is an arbitrary statement with no basis in fact. Your personal experience is not a sufficient source. If you can provide authoritative sources for this definition and requirement, please do.

The Britannica source does not state automatic fire is a mandatory "MUST" feature. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Steveo1544 (talk • contribs) 15:50, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

It does so state: "Assault rifle, military firearm that is chambered for ammunition of reduced size or propellant charge and that has the capacity to switch between semiautomatic and fully automatic fire." There is no ambiguity here. The Wiki page for assault rifle states the same. Selective fire is a defining feature of an assault rifle (not assault "weapon").
