Assault Gun
Assault Gun already has a definition. Also,from the German, Sturmgeschuetz.
It is a tracked, armored vehicle mounting a cannon for infantry support. Used extensively during WWII from 1940 on, the German designs were turretless. Other nations also used the concept, some designs had turrets, most did not.
Visit any hobby shot website and look at Armor, and you will find dozens of model kits of the various vehicles. Please let us hope the anti gunners don't try to steal and corrupt this term as well!
The New York law is a fine example of a little knowledge being a dangerous thing. NO ONE who only has a half assed clue about the materials they are regulating should ever be in a position to do so. Sadly, it seems an awful lot of people in state and federal governments fit in this category.
