👉 An assault weapon is a firearm or other weapon designed to be used in a manner that maximizes its destructive potential, often featuring characteristics such as rapid reloading, high capacity magazines, and ease of concealment. These weapons are typically prohibited by law due to their potential for causing widespread harm and are often associated with increased lethality in conflicts. Examples include semi-automatic rifles, shotguns, and machine guns that can be easily modified to enhance their firepower and mobility.
