Maybe. If it has a scope it can be called a "sniper rifle".
Really? A shotgun?
Drawing from federal and state law definitions, the term assault weapon refers primarily to semi-automatic rifles, pistols, and shotguns that are able to accept detachable magazines and possess one or more other features. Some jurisdictions define revolving cylinder shotguns as assault weapons.

This is why I don't use the term "assault rifle." Because then gun nuts can get up on their high horse about definitions and what constitutes an assault rifle and thereby change the narrative from "we should do something about high powered rifles" to "you're a dumb butt who doesn't know guns."
Yeah, Why would anyone want to ensure correct definition of legal terminology? Just randomly using terms that you "feel" fit probably works just fine for designing restrictive legal regulations. Right?!
It's not a study it's the UK 1988 Firearms Act, the one following events in Hungerford, when local man Michael Ryan went berserk with a legallty owned Type 56 (AK-47 variant) Assault Rifle and Beretta 92 handgun, as well as an M1 Carbine resulting in 16 people being killed.
So you are discussing the UK soley and your perspective and anecdotes have zero relation to US culture, law, and usage.
