Current military arms such as the M16, M4, AK and Type 89 are considered "assault rifles", as they were designed to fire "intermediate ammunition" that is between a real Battle Rifle's full size ammunition and handgun ammunition.
The Howa Type 64, the M14, G3, FAL, etc are "battle rifles" as they fire "full size" ammunition.
TOP makes/made a Type 64 clone, or at least they recently showed one off, I saw pictures of it. If I was going full JSDF I'd get one of them over the Type 89.
