The assault-style weapons banned under the crime bill approved by the House and awaiting a final vote in the Senate:
AK-47 and all models of the Norinco, Mitchell and Poly Technologies Avtomat Kalashnikovs, designed in the former Soviet Union in 1947. AK-47s were used in 1989 by the man who shot five children to death in a Stockton, Calif., schoolyard, and a man who killed eight people at a printing plant in Louisville, Ky.
Action Arms Israeli Military Industries UZI and Galil.
Intratec TEC-9, TEC-22 and TEC-DC9, used to kill eight people in a San Francisco law firm in July 1993.

Street Sweeper and Striker 12 and other revolving cylinder semiautomatic shotguns. Banned from import into the United States in 1989 by President Bush, these riot-control guns went into domestic production almost immediately afterwards.
