If I can kill ya with a spoon, cooking utensils are assault weapons.
If I burn your house down, a candle is an assault weapon.
If I punch you in the nose and force bone shards into your brain, my hands are assault weapons.
If I run you down, my pickup truck is an assault weapon.

Dang. I could go on forever.

I know you're being sarcastic, but you actually did legitimately answer the question so I guess i'm a little confused?

Any semi automatic weapon which can fire more than 11 rounds without reloading.

I was going to say a fully automatic machine gun, but after reading MC's post I think his answer is more accurate. Of course if you took the word "assault weapon" as verbatim, that would basically mean something that can harm another person.

I'll let someone else start the fire...
