It would be nice if we could find a (legal) photo of a truck-mounted assault gun, to help readers see the breadth of types covered by the term "assault gun". — B.Bryant 02:59, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
Since when is the Sv 103 considered an assault gun? Its role and description is universally that of a main battle tank. Sacxpert 10:39, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
I'm removing the ugly fact tag from the introduction, which seems to have had the support of consensus for some time. This is an article in military science, and a general dictionary definition is hardly a basis for contradicting it. "An AFV with no turret" qualifies as a superficial description, but is inadequate as a definition in an encyclopedic context.
In the meantime, would someone with access to a good military source please look for a definition to satisfy the request for a reference (sorry; I don't have one at hand right now)? Thanks. — Michael Z. 2006-09-03 12:27 Z

The 105-mm armed Sherman was considered an assault gun by the US Army. Tank Battalions had a 3-vehicle assault gun platoon made up of 105mm howitzer armed M4s, plus one 105mm in each medium tank company for a total of 6 per Battalion. See for example this unit history: http://www.100thww2.org/support/781combat.html "....As the assault guns from Headquarters Company contributed their 105mm rounds...." This refers to 105mm armed Shermans.

The article needs a proper section about modern assault guns. The US-army's new M10 Booker is essentially an assault gun by its description: "The M10 Booker is an armored vehicle that is intended to support our Infantry Brigade Combat Teams by suppressing and destroying fortifications, gun systems and trench routes, and then secondarily providing protection against enemy armored vehicles," said Maj. Gen. Glenn Dean, program executive officer of Army Ground Combat Systems. [1] Blockhaj ( talk) 21:29, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
