Terminology
An assault rifle is a light rifle that fires a reduced power cartridge and is
capable of automatic operation. Automatic operation means it's a machine gun
that fires as long as the trigger is pressed.
The term "assault weapon" has no precise meaning but the media seems to like it.

Not to date myself, but that was the default spelling when I was growing
up. Baloney might be more appropriate in this case as it conveys my intent
without even a hint of ambiguity.

It's a semi-automatic rifle, if you put a shorter barrel in it, it's
still an automatic rifle in carbine configuration.
Technically to be an assault rifle it would need to have selective fire
control.
