MODERATORS
No I think the UK beat them by a few years but they had them in planes earlier.
The automobile - pronounce it out loud, you'll say it something like "ow-toe moh-beel", i.e. in a German accent. Because Germans invented cars.
The assault rifle. They invented the concept, a handful of prototypes without the relevant doctrine (or for the 1890s one, even a detachable magazine) is irrelevant. Fight me, @bluewing.
I think the otto & diesel cycles are a better claim than the automobile, given there are like 100 different competing "first automobiles" to chose from
