Either one can be an assault weapon if you use it to attack someone.

I'd say, whatever one was most recently used by our Military (or a resemblance of such ability) in a war like setting , and meant to Kill as many humans as possible with as much damage to their organs, in the shortest amount of time....

Does the top gun use magazines?

The top one comes standard with a five round magazine.

If it’s semi-auto and accepts magazines then both.

most every gun is semi auto.

What about a vehicle?
Does that count as an assault weapon?

A vehicle’s primary purpose is transportation. Not unloading a hail of bulletfire.

An assault weapon is whatever a given lawmaking body designates it to be, its definition being a matter of law.

There, you're all helped out.

[Poll question]: Which is an Assault Weapon?

Insofar as there is no current and universally accepted definition of "assault weapon," in the abstract, one cannot say which of the firearms pictured in the OP is an assault weapon. What one can do is define "assault weapon" and, using that definition, specify which firearm is an assault weapon, provide one has enough information about the pictured rifles to do so.

The U.S. Army has its own definition of "assault rifle," but I don't know if it has a definition of "assault weapon."

The very substance of the definitionalism found in the OP and poll question is but a clear illustration of the equivocation (by dint of vagueness and/or ambiguity) on which gun-rights advocates have long relied.

That said, the gun industry's traditional definition of an "assault rifle" is a weapon the military generally uses and has "select fire capabilities," or the capability to switch between semi-automatic or a fully automatic mode. However, the civilian AR-15s do not have the select fire capabilities, only semi-automatic settings, so the firearms industry insists they are not an actual assault rifle or assault weapon.

What if I just club someone with it, still an assault weapon?

A vehicle’s primary purpose is transportation. Not unloading a hail of bulletfire.

So what?

The purpose is defined by the intent of the person not by the object

It is a weapon and you did assault someone so technically yes which was basically my point any type of gun can technically be an assault weapon which is why the term assault weapon is rather silly.

There's always one idiot that feels the need to chime in with stupidity. Thanks for being that idiot.

Besides, I want a tactical nuke...........
