The terminology used to describe an assault varies widely from state to state depending on how the wording of their individual statutes was written.

GENERALLY - 'Simple Assault' is unwanted touching or striking by use of the hands or fists only.

From there the statutes pretty much diverge, with some states using DEGREES of assault and others moving directly into Assaults with Deadly Weapons or Assault and Battery (you are "armed" ANY time you strike someone with anything other than your bare hand). Check your local laws for the meaning and variations of the assault law in your particular jurisdiction.
