There are no specific names of AW's listed in the NYC code, but NYC code does have a stricter definition of an AW, ie, semi-auto and only ONE other feature (as opposed to federal law, which states TWO other features). Also, there is no 'preban' AW and no 'antique' AW in NYC.
Also, no mags that hold over 5 rounds, period.
So, short answer is NO AW's in NYC, and there is no permit for one for normal civilians, not even liscensed dealers (other than theatrical dealers) or LEOs.
Long answer is the following, actual codes:
NYC definition of AW:
"10-301. Control and regulation of the
disposition, purchase and possession of fire-
arms, rifles, shotguns, and assault weapons.
16. “Assault weapon.”
(a) Any semi-automatic centerfire or rimfire rifle
or semi-automatic shotgun which has one or
more of the following features:
1. folding or telescoping stock or no stock;
2. pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously
beneath the action of the weapon;
3. bayonet mount;
4. flash suppressor or threaded barrel
designed to accommodate a flash suppressor;
5. barrel shroud;
6. grenade launcher; or
7. modifications of such features, or other
features, determined by rule of the
commissioner to be particularly suitable for
military and not sporting purposes. In addition,
the commissioner shall, by rule, designate
specific semi-automatic centerfire or rimfire rifles
or semiautomatic shotguns, identified by make,
model and/or manufacturer’s name, as within
the definition of assault weapon, if the commis-
sioner determines that such weapons are
particularly suitable for military and not sporting
purposes.
(b) Any shotgun with a revolving-cylinder
magazine.
(c) Any part, or combination of parts,
designed or redesigned or intended to readily
convert a rifle or shotgun into an assault
weapon.
(d) “Assault weapon” shall not include any
rifle or shotgun modified to render it permanently
inoperative."
NYC's stance on AW's:
"10-303.1. Prohibition of the possession or
disposition of assault weapons.

305. A person who peaceably surrenders an
assault weapon to the commissioner pursuant to
subdivision d, e or f of this section or subdivision
f of section 10-305 shall not be subject to the
criminal or civil penalties set forth in this section.
10-303.1. Prohibition of the possession or
disposition of assault weapons.
a. It shall be unlawful for any person to
possess or dispose of any assault weapon with-
in the city of New York, except as provided in

sion and purchase of rifles and shotguns and a
certificate of registration for such assault wea-
pon, and any licensed dealer in firearms or
licensed dealer in rifles and shotguns who is not
licensed as a special theatrical dealer and who,
on or after the effective date of this local law,
shall possess an assault weapon, and any po-
lice officer or peace officer who, before the
effective date of this law was exempt from the
sections of the administrative code requiring rifle
and shotgun permits and certificates, and who,
upon the effective date of this local law, is not
exempt from the sections of the administrative
code prohibiting the possession or disposition of
assault weapons, and who, on or after the
effective date of this local law, shall possess an
assault weapon, shall, within ninety days of the
effective date of rules promulgated by the
commissioner pursuant to subparagraph 7 of
paragraph a of subdivision 16 of section 10-301,
either:
(1) peaceably surrender his or her assault
weapon pursuant to subdivision f of section 10-
305 for the purpose of destruction of such
weapon by the com-missioner, provided that the
commissioner may authorize the use of such
weapon by the department; or
(2) lawfully remove such assault weapon from
the city of New York. All assault weapons pos-
sessed by such permittees, licensees and previ-
ously exempt persons shall be subject to the
provisions of this subdivision, whether de-fined
as assault weapons in subdivision 16 of section
10-301 or in rules promulgated by the commis-
sioner pursuant to subparagraph 7 of paragraph
a of subdivision 16 of section 10-301."
Sorry man.
Don't shoot the messenger (oh ya - you can't, without a special permit, and especially not with an AR!
