Gun? baseball bat at close range? Deadman switch? Anyways, it's the attempt, not the result.

No, my just acting like I'm going to make unwanted contact is assault. Making contact is battery.
My simply laying a hand on your shoulder could be construed as battery. I've had a colleague go to court over that very thing. Eventually they dropped the criminal trial when the EMS system decided to settle the civil end out of court.
