Mugging is a crime involving an attack on an individual in a public place with the intent to rob them. It typically involves physical assault or the threat of violence to coerce the victim into surrendering their possessions.

Personally I tend to find guns pretty threatening.

Or your definition is wrong.

https://www.dictionary.com/browse/armed-robbery.

If having a gun made them all mugging, then no one who wasnt caught in the act would ever get charged with armed robbery.

Or, you know, mugging is not the name of the actual crime...
