Wikipedia has an article on: Assault rifle

Assault Rifles are a class of automatic two-handed weapons characterized by their large profile and usually intended for medium or long ranges.

Assault Rifles are usually favored due to their accuracy, firepower and large magazines that allow them to take multiple enemies at one (usually 30 rounds). However, due to the recoil produced by constant firing, they will miss the targets, especially at long ranges. Also, while their profiles will make them unsuitable for drive-bys in most land-based vehicles or at close ranges, these weapons can be used freely while on helicopters or boats (as both will have no restrictions in terms of space). As a result of these facts, the assault rifle is widely considered the primary option for any character in the Grand Theft Auto series.

Although Assault Rifles are capable of select-fire to either semi-automatic or fully-automatic, they are restricted to the latter, as this mechanic does not exist.
