Machine Gun is a type of gun and an assult rifle is part of the machine gun group, like mini-gun's, SMGs, and other amazing weapons that shoot fast.

No, they arent the same. the term 'machine gun' generally refers to a belt fed(or a box that contains a belt) fully auto gun, such as the SAW-20, some of the ww2 MG's could overheat and sieze the barrel before they ran out of ammo. Also machine guns are heavy and are normally use a bipod. Aussault Rifles are light enough to carry and fire at the same time, they can shoot in full auto, 3 round burst, and/or single shot mode, such as the M16, Steyr Aug, BAR(Browning Automatic Rifle), Kalashnikov(AK-47), or the M4 Carbine. other examples of machine guns are CIWS (close in weapon system) a anti-missle system on ships, the chain gun on the back of the hog, gatling guns, mini-guns. (mini and gatling guns are very similar, in order qualify as a mini or gatling gun there must be multiple barrels)
