However this is only what they were originally designed as, thay have been adapted for sporting purposes now.
Much like radar and sonar were originally developed for battle, we don't get upset that they have been adapted for other uses now too do we?

The only trouble is your not technically accurate. Main battle rifle (a much cooler term than Assult Rifle imho) refers to something firing a full power cartridge so a 303, M1 Garand or a M14\M305 is a main battle rifle. A AR-15 doesn't fire a full power cartridge.
