Assault Weapon

Anything you can hurt someone with. I can take my shirt off, wrap it around your neck, and choke you with it, that makes it an assault weapon. I could throw a teddy bear at your head really hard, that makes it an assault weapon. I could intentionally give you a paper cut, that makes the paper I used an assault weapon.

Frequently misused to describe semi-automatic weapons.

That's an assault weapon! You shouldn't be allowed to own that!

What, this? An AR-15 only fires one bullet at a time dude.
