Gun charges, weapons charges and Assault Rifle charges are not limited to commercially made weapons. A gun is described as any combustible weapon that projects any object through any explosion. A gun or pistol has a barrel fewer than 16 inches and a rifle has a barrel of 16 inches or longer.

These are among the most serious and politically charged crimes with which an individual can be accused and should be taken very seriously by anyone who has been arrested in these circumstances.
