It means a weapon whose sole purpose and design principle is to kill humans efficiently. Pretty straightforward, I thought, but what do I know. This distinguishes an assault weapon from a multi-purpose weapon/tool, like a machete, hunting rifle, or axe.
Funnily, this also makes all those nuclear Extinction Ovals we keep laying around assault weapons, which I dunno, I would think we would be a bigger priority to make not exist than automatic rifles, but what do I know
The military definition is that of a rifle firing a medium-energy cartridge, capable of both semiautomatic and automatic fire. The automatic fire capability is the crucial distinction. In popular misconception, it is any rifle, small or large, that has a pistol grip (because it suggests a submachine gun).
With a name like yours, I've got to trust you on this matter. You would know.
Any firearms enthusiast would produce the same definition. The pattern was set by the German StG 44 in 1943. Look it up and you will see all the classic traits.
So then, not a term that no one knows the definition of used by emotionally unstable liars?
