In laymen terms can someone describe what an Assault weapon is according to DC law?
Well, an "assault weapon" is a rifle capable of full automatic fire. Now, DCs definition probably refers to scary features. I'll defer.

Right. Practically speaking don’t plan on any semi-auto long gun with a pistol grip. An M1A or Ares SCR (no pistol grip) or a Mossberg MVP (bolt action) are still good to go for example.
Sorry Bikebreath, you are not allowed in DC to kill three men with a frick'n pencil.
You can have a Ruger Mini14 or Mini30. So that's nice.

To me, that's the biggest advantage of the Ruger Mini-14 and Mini-30; a semi-auto legal in a place where many others are not. I think Bill Ruger was very crafty they way he marketed the Min-14 with the 5 round mags which (IMHO) kept them off the radar.
Hopefully these photos won't get downsized too much, but was in MPD's FRS office yesterday and took photos of what they deemed to be eligible for registration.
Keltec RDB-C is curiously marked as an assault rifle despite not having a pistol grip.
But AR platform rifles with Thorsden Customs stocks are deemed as acceptable.
Previously when I spoke to LT Hall, he said that Monsterman grips for ARs were allowed but recently changed his mind and deemed all Ruger AR556s to be assault rifles even if they came with an MM grip.
EDIT: I don't understand how they can misspell rifle so many times.
So the Shockwave is a yea?
That was my thinking.

Great pics. Thanks. Reminds me of how many cool guns out there we can’t own thanks to our commie overlords.
I can’t figure out what infringes on the statute with the Keltec RDB-C either. Probably just didn’t like the look of it. Side note that DS-15 his piqued my interest and may find itself resting next to my Ares SCR soon.
