no. my description was focused on the nature of the assault. an assault shouldn't need to be successful in order to qualify as physical assault because your actions caused reckless physical endangerment with malicious intent. if tyrone tries to shoot you and fails because he's limp wristed and holding his gun sideways, it still makes sense to charge him with an assault. an easier to understand definition of 'physical assault' could be, for example: 'attack on someone's body'.
