This is a child group of Assault Rifles, collecting the Small Arms And Sidearms subcategory's assault rifles whose own record traces them to an Asia-Pacific country other than China, none reaching five members on its own within this split: South Korea (the Daewoo Precision Industries K1 and K2 and the Dasan Machineries DSAR-15 family), Japan (the Howa Type 89 and Type 20), Taiwan, Singapore, India, Indonesia and North Korea. The group spans a region whose own arms industries range from decades-old standard-issue service rifles to recent export-oriented and modular designs, grouped together here as a single Asia-Pacific bucket rather than as eleven single-country groups of one or two members apiece, each of which would sit well under this split's own working floor for a genuine subtype group.

The K2 supplanted the M16A1 assault rifle as the primary infantry weapon for the South Korean military since its adoption in 1985, though the former remains in service with reservists.
