  Simple definitions.
 
  An assault rifle is a precise military term that defines that it must have:
 A select fire feature that allows fully automatic fire alongside semi auto.
 Uses an intermediate cartridge. 0 to 400 yard range. More powerful than a hand gun but less than a high powered rifle. 0 to 1,000 yard range.
  Has a detachable magazine.
 Think  M 16
  
  An assault weapon is a political or legal term used to describe weapons that may cosmetically resemble assault rifles but are only semi automatic fire. It's used by anti gun advocates to confuse and blur the line so Joe Schmo might think it's something it really isn't.
  Think AR 15
 
   Although both look similar the difference is in their firing capability.  An M16 can do everything an AR 15 can do but also has select fire.
The AR 15 came before the M16 and was the basis for the M16. The AR 15 can be made to simulate automatic fire with parts such as a forced reset trigger,bump stock or a binary trigger. Those options aren't as reliable as the M16s fully automatic fire and really aren't recommended for combat.
 
   So...... by definition a tricked out Ruger 10/22 with plastic furniture and 25 round magazine could be considered  an assault weapon but not an assault rifle.
 
   The debate here is whether the AR 15 is an assault rifle. It isn't. It's a regular semi auto rifle that looks like an assault rifle. Its an assault weapon. Which as has been stated is just a political or legal term. 
  Most parts will interchange between an M16 and an AR 15 but the AR 15 can't be made into an M16 by doing that. It isn't made to accept the select fire capability.
   
   For me an assault rifle is something I wished I could buy at the LGS but can't because it's for military use only. An assault weapon could really mean anything from rock ro a club to a knife to a shotgun if it's used to harm someone. You're really putting an assault on them when the old shotgun comes into play. 

  If anyone has anything constructive to add please feel free.
If you feel like trolling fine. All you'll get from me is this,**** off.

• Cyclic Rate: 700 to 950 rounds per minute (the maximum speed it can cycle mechanically). [1]

• Semi-Automatic: 45 to 60 rounds per minute. [1]

• Sustained Rate: 12 to 15 rounds per minute (the safe rate to prevent overheating during continuous use). [1, 2, 3]

• Burst/Automatic Variant Differences:
  • M16A1: Fully automatic at roughly 700–800 rounds per minute.
  • M16A2 / M16A3: 3-round burst or full auto with a cyclic rate of 700–900 rounds per minute.
  • M16A4: 3-round burst with a cyclic rate around 700–950 rounds per minute. [1, 2, 3, 4]

AI

A standard civilian AR-15 is a semi-automatic rifle that fires one bullet per pull of the trigger. Its practical rapid-fire rate is about 45 to 60 rounds per minute (roughly 1 round per second depending on how fast the operator pulls the trigger), while its safe sustained rate for continuous use is 12 to 15 rounds per minute

Who doesn't admire the panache with which you cherrypick selections from citations which consistently and unambiguously reject your central thesis?

VW’s mega Wolfsburg plant can build all of these vehicles on the same line at the same time. Depending upon production needs, there could be 100 Golfs, then 25 Atlases, 5 Tiguan, etc…

a truly amazing feat in producing vehicles…
