I really don't like using the term, "Assault Weapon," when talking about AR-15s and AK-47s (or even SKSs), so I use other terms.
If I'm talking with people who know what I'm talking about and who generally agree with me, I like to use the term, "Evil Black Rifle." It's almost a verbal assault on the anti-gunners, but it's a bit of playful fun for the rest of us.
I occasionally use the term, "Katrina Carbine." It not only describes what the gun IS, but it also describes what the gun IS FOR.
Maybe a looser term would be helpful. How about, "Modern Rifle?" Who could argue against us having a modern rifle? Remember, the anti-gunners intentionally created the term, "assault gun" in order to blur the distinctions between modern semi-auto rifles and those dreaded machine guns. A term like "modern rifle" would blur the distinctions the OTHER way, and to our benefit.
