"What definition of 'assault rifle' do you feel is most accurate?"
None of them.

"Assault rifle" and "assault weapon" are emotionally- and politically-charged terms with no real meaning, beyond what someone wishes them to mean.

If I extended the bayonet on my M-N M44 --five round capacity, bolt action-- and performed a "thrust and butt stroke" on you, I'm pretty certain that you'd feel you'd been assaulted.

I have a Winchester Model 62, inherited from my father and grandfather. It's hardly modern technology. There's no trigger disconnect: hold the trigger back, and it will fire as fast as you can work the slide (which is pretty darn fast). At short range, I could put a dozen Stingers into the target's vitals quicker than most shooters could place three aimed rounds with an AR/M-something.

"Assault" is a crime, not a type of firearm.
