An assault rifle is a sub-category of a rifle. Both have rifled or grooved barrels as opposed to the smooth bore of the typical shotgun.
A rifle can be operated by a bolt, a lever, a pump, be semi-automatic or fully automatic in addition to being a single or double action.
An assault rifle is usually semi-automatic, which means the trigger has to be pulled for each shot, or fully automatic in which the gun fires until the trigger is released. Stereotypically, they're in a black plastic or composite material.
Assault firearms can be in other multiple-round actions and be shotguns or pistols.
