While assault with a dangerous weapon can include firing the weapon or wielding the weapon, it does not require that the weapon is used to inflict harm. It is enough to simply brandish a knife or reveal a gun in order to motivate victims to act out of fear.
Because of the potential for injury or loss of life, charges involving guns may receive special attention from the prosecutor and the judge because of the potential for injury or loss of life.
