After WWII, the Soviet Union turned to assault rifles much quicker than the Americans, ending with the adoption of the AK-47 in 1949.

WI the Americans managed to implement assault rifles as fast as the USSR, or at least as soon after WWII as possible?

I'd assume this would butterfly away the M14 and would probably result in at least significant changes to the M16, but what else?
