The term "assault" rifle is a bastardization of the designation for the German developed select fire rifle of late WW2 called a the StG 44 (Sturmgewehr 44). Anti-gunners love the word "assault" because it sounds scary. The accurate translation from German would be "storm rifle". It could unleash a "storm" or "storm wind" of rounds. I can't find a real German translation of "strum" the equals "assault".
Sturm
(lit, fig) storm
in Sturm und Regen in wind and rain
das Barometer steht auf Sturm (lit) the barometer is indicating stormy weather; (fig) there’s a storm brewing

Thanks for finding g that, and yes, “assault rifle” is select fire w/ full auto as one of the selections. The Supreme Court should step in and declare rifles like the ar-15 (and ALL semi-automatic rifles” do not qualify as an “assault weapon” because they don’t fit with the definition and is incapable of full auto.
