The G3 is full auto, not semi-auto. Semi auto variants (such as the HK91) and clones (such as the Century Arms 'frankenguns' and the PTR-91) have been made.
The G3 itself doesn't meet the definition of an assault rifle - it falls short in not using an intermediate cartridge, and thus, falls under the category of battle rifle.
As for the BATFE definition of a 'civilian assault weapon', the semi-auto HK91s met that definition. However, to be considered as such, they have to have two or more of the following features:
- Pronounced pistol grip
- Bayonet lug
- Flash suppressor
- Folding/collapsible buttstock
- Grenade launcher fitting
So, technically, while a HK91 or clone would be an evil, horrible 'assault weapon' with the pistol grip, flash suppressor, and bayonet lug, it would not be if it had only one of those features (or none, as California's definitions includes any detachable magazine centerfire rifle with even one of those features).

Difference between a carbine and a assault rifle?
An assault rifle is a rifle that has more than 22'' inches of barrel and has selective firing rate, while the carbine rifle has a less 22'' inches barrel and semi automatic. ^^ Wrong.. An assault rifle is any select fire rifle that is chambered for an intermediate cartridge... Barrel length has nothing to do with it. The M16 has a 20" barrel length and is considered an assault rifle. The AK47 has a 16" barrel and is considered an assault rifle... Carbines that are select fire and chambered in an intermediate cartridge are still considered assault rifles.
