Define an "assault weapon"

Come to think of it, the assault weapon ban list, looking through it, I don't think that this:

would count as an Assault Weapon...

Not to junk up the thread, but it is an interesting topic.

Can you legally have an unmanned remote controled semi-automatic weapon on a tri-pod secured in a safe location on private property?

Just wondering, really not in the mood to do so, but it surely would offer a safe option for armed intruders to fire back at a unmanned gun.

You could set them up at the school perimeters. Noone will get near them then.

They make stuff like that for AirSoft so I'd bet they'd work for real firearms.

That is so good ... thank you kindly

They even make a paintball version so I could use fluorescent ones at night then call the cops telling them what to look for.

$499.99 airsoft version/ $599.99 paintball version + shipping

The Airsoft version uses a electronic relay to fire your gun with its intended battery so there is no performance gains to the gun itself.
The paintball version has a special electronic trigger mechanism to fire a mechanical trigger, no performance gains to the gun itself. No problems with regulations yet.

Any rifle more or less accurate + 30 bullets clip. Assault rifle automatic or not.

I don't know Oberon, but if those cannon were shooting grapeshot at me, that would definitely be an assault on my body!

Too true

It's scary really, why someone should need so many bullets, shooting for fun?. They are going to ban the selling of large clips?.
