What I mean is, the AR I used as an infantryman in Vietnam was a "battle rifle"
The AR I use today is a target rifle.
I used the first in battle, I use the latter in High Power Rifle Matches

You can't use a AR in a high power match as the only reason 223/5.56 is considered an intermediate round is because there was no other category for it, maybe useful in a low power rifle match though.
(this is sarcasm BTW).
I think people get far to hung up on names and labels, and like I've pointed out you can draw what ever rules you want to label certain firearms, but there will always be something that doesn't fit like its supposed to.

I lean more to how the tool is being used

I'd agree with that.
A DMR is a rifle used by a DM and a Sniper rifle is used by a Sniper, it is the purpose that names the firearm, a Sniper isn't called a Sniper because he uses a Sniper rifle, his rifle is named after him.
(Geez makes me sound like a mall ninja using the word Sniper so many times).
