You know, those scary-looking ones, with the thingies...
Duh.
B-b-but those dont have barrel shrouds, which is a required assault rifle feature.
What's a barrel shroud you ask? Per Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY), a barrel shroud is "that shoulder thing that goes up."

I hate the phrase "assault weapon" if we're talking about rifles designed for civilian ownership.
"Assault weapon" is a misleading phrase used by the gun control lobby to demonize any centerfire, semiautomatic (not select-fire as the Wiki link says) rifle that has various aesthetic features that have no bearing on the rifles lethality or efficacy: Collapsible stock, "conspicuously-protruding" $0.99 plastic pistol grip, detachable magazine, barrel shroud (LOL), barrel threads, bayonet lugs (BTW when was the last time you guys ever heard of a drive-by bayonetting?), etc. etc. etc. It's a phrase used by the Bradies to pull on the heart strings of overweight, idiot soccer moms who get their news from Oprah and the National Enquirer.
