The term "Assault Rifle" is a politically coined term for a style of tactical looking rifles https://firefield.com/blogs/news/why-is-the-ar-15-not-an-assault-rifle The 30 round magazine is standard issued for the AR15 rifle. Laws that require less are called "magazine capacity restriction" https://firearmslegal.com/magazine-capacity-the-law/#:~:text=The%20AR%2D15%20became%20available,round%20capacity%20as%20a%20standard.
