Original Note:
"Automatic" is an older but accurate term for semi-automatic weapons, used for decades, referring to the instant blowback/recoil-operated rechambering of a new round. The distinction/terminology b/w "fully automatic" and "semi-auto" came later. NNN. Keep the abuse out of CN. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-automatic_firearm#Fully_automatic_compared_to_semi-automatic
