Which of these firearms does Connecticut classify as an assault weapon?

  1. Any semi-automatic rifle with a fixed magazine capacity exceeding 5 rounds

  2. Any bolt-action rifle

  3. Any semi-automatic shotgun

  4. Any revolver

The correct answer is: Any semi-automatic rifle with a fixed magazine capacity exceeding 5 rounds

Connecticut classifies any semi-automatic rifle with a fixed magazine capacity exceeding 5 rounds as an assault weapon. This classification is in line with the state's assault weapons ban, which restricts the ownership and use of specific types of firearms. A bolt-action rifle, semi-automatic shotgun, and revolver do not fall under the definition of an assault weapon according to Connecticut law. By understanding the criteria set by the state, it becomes clear why option A is the correct choice.
