It's like saying a Ferrari isn't a Ferrari if you take off the Z rated tires. It's still a Ferrari no matter what wheels you have on it.
This is an AR15:
This is an M16:

Nonsense. Name me a single Army in the world that goes into battle armed with that famous Assault Rifle the AR-15. It is those few parts that makes the difference between being being an Assault Rifle and not being an Assault Rifle. At this point I will let the matter drop as I do not really care to spend my time over what is silly nonsense on your part.
