Assault weapon or rifle is a weird term.
Most Civilians cannot get fully automatic weapons since the 30's I believe (if that's what you think of by Assault Rifle). All AK-47 or M16 type guns you get in America are NOT fully automatic. Therefore it does perform similarly to a semi-automatic hunting rifle. It's the LOOK that was banned, not what the rifles did.
Here is an excellent video that shows what I'm talking about.
