hmm, one could go the way and say that the assault rifle uses a new kind of ammo system to allow for that small size, like say seperate bullet and "!gun powder" (most likely replaced with some sort of gas or something in liquid form).

The main problem is the required length of barrel for acceleration of a bullet for rifles. However, if you assume the propellants and other firearms tech has advanced sufficiently that you can basically launch the projectile with a slightly controlled high explosion, that isn't a big problem.

Combined with separate propellant and projectiles, the only thing keeping all weapons from being the size of large pistols or smaller is the necessary support for long range firing and to handle recoil, and you'll want more weight for several of those weapons (for the recoil again).

And, for the record, I wouldn't allow that either. Absolutely not, not without a lot of Firearms B/R (or Launch Weapons B/R...). Obviously the weights should be cumulative in any case -- no worries there, unless you hit STR x 10kg.
