The term “assault weapon” is a controversial term used to define firearms with specified characteristics. The definition varies among regulating jurisdictions, but usually includes semi-automatic firearms with a detachable magazine, a pistol grip, and sometimes other features, such as a vertical forward grip, flash suppressor, or barrel shroud Certain firearms are specified by name in some laws that restrict assault weapons When the now-defunct Federal Assault Weapons Ban was passed in 1994, the U.S. Department of Justice said, “In general, assault weapons are semiautomatic firearms with a large magazine of ammunition that were designed and configured for rapid fire and combat use” The commonly used definitions of assault weapons are under frequent debate, and have changed over time 1. The origin of the term has been attributed to legislators, the firearms industry, gun control groups, and the media It is sometimes used interchangeably with the term assault rifle, which refers to selective fire rifles that use intermediate cartridges
Therefore, not anything can be categorically called/labelled an “assault weapon”. However there are many things that are considered an assault weapon, for example, Semi-automatic firearm capable of accepting a detachable magazine.
As an engineer, I can speak on the behalf of the creation of products. Items designed for combat, for an extreme example, a robot with a gun that targets only humans. Its purpose is violence. So it qualifies as an assault weapon in my mind. But this is based on my definition.
A kitchen knife could be used in a number of ways to commit an act of violence, but has attributes in its design that suggest it is made for cutting greens or cheese or fish, etc, depending on the type of kitchen knife. Therefore, it is not an assault weapon in my eyes.
Can you break the question down. I cant seem to be understanding your question.
