I have also posted for you before the ATF UA CODE definition of a machine gun. That means what the military considers an assault weapon such as the Colt M16 or the AK47 or any other AUTOMATIC weapon is a machine gun. You may bow your head in shame.
Here it is again:

National Firearms Act Definitions
Machinegun
26 U.S.C. § 5845(b)
For the purposes of the National Firearms Act the term Machinegun means:
- Any weapon which shoots, is designed to shoot, or can be readily restored to shoot, automatically more than one shot without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger
- The frame or receiver of any such weapon
- Any part designed and intended solely and exclusively or combination of parts designed and intended for use in converting a weapon into a machinegun, or
- Any combination of parts from which a machinegun can be assembled if such parts are in the possession or under the control of a person.
