Got to shoot an assault rifle in the army. Would definitely buy one if I could.

The M16 is definitely the best, most fun rifle I've ever shot. Hitting a pop-up target 300 feet out in less than 2 seconds is pretty rewarding.

Assault rifles are cool and all, but SMGs are just fun. The ugliest but most fun gun I've ever shot was a 9mm Colt SMG. A factory made kludge to fit 9mm into an AR-15 derivative. The weight and overall design being originally for 5.56mm in mind meant that full auto with 9mm had basically zero felt recoil.

Most fun assault rifle was the Vz. 58. Less controllable than an any kind of full auto 5.56mm AR-15 derivative, but so fun I didn't care. And it reloaded with clips.

You seem to live in Finland. Owning an AK or AR is highly achievable.
