the m16/ar15 are the same plurry thing no matter how much you change stock design /magazine capacity muzzle break etc etc
the M4 is a derivative of the springfield dirtyo6 that came before it..the ruger M1 carbine also dirivative...the ruger mini 14- mini 30 and indeed the 10/22 are ALL basically a copy of what was a military semi automatic rifle yet they are classed differently
a gevarn .22lr can be converted to full auto with simple twist of an allen key....does that make it an assult rifle??? no of course is doesnt an assult rifle is a rifle or carbine made for purpose of warfare in particular a troop weapon to be carried while assulting a position..... a shotgun cant be classed as one as its not a rifle yet can be in same configuration eg the .410 saigas now on sale on trademe....
I see your point its a military clssification..... so a bren gun would fit the bill but a thompson wouldnt????
while we are on what a rifle is called...a short barreled rifle is a carbine ........a BUSHPIG is a grubby sheilah from the shady side of town
a bush hobbits rifle of choice for many years has been a carbine....we now put a tin can on the end...its still a carbine there endith my rant for the day.

Sorry to nit pick but you asked

A bren does not fit the bill as it does not use an intermediate cartridge and a Thompson uses a pistol cartridge.

Not sure how a bolt action turns into a semi but.... ok
