Just about any item can be considered an assault weapon depending on how it is used. It is the intent that is most often considered. A rolled up newspaper could be used to hit or assault a person just as well as a knife or gun. The penalty may not be as severe but the assault is still applicable.

When you assault someone you must hit him or her?
Not necessarily, it may depend on WHAT type of assault you are referring to. You can commit an "assault" by utilizing or displaying a weapon that puts the victim in fear of their life or great bodily injury - and it is not necessary for you to "touch" them with it, simply placing them "in fear" suffices. However - in so-called "simple assault" (no weapon-just bodily contact; hands or fists, etc) an actual physical touching must occur. Although used quite often in the common vernacular, there really is no such thing as a "verbal assault" or "assault by intimidation."
