That's hand grenades and AP mines. Assault rifles came into being when it
was found that full-power cartridges just weren't necessary for
full-automatic infantry weapons -- soldiers would open fire at maybe 300
meters or less with them and fire lots of rounds till they hit. Lighter
rounds have enough range for that, and reduce the recoil so that also
increases the chance of a hit, and as an added bonus the soldier can carry
more of them.
Assault rifle rounds will kill you just as dead as machinegun rounds will,
provided eithr hits you where it matters.
