Re: Misnamed said by Mr_Otis :Aren't all guns 'semi-automatic'? At least, all those that are not machine guns? Pull the trigger, gun fires. Pull the trigger, gun fires. Semi-automatic.
I believe a one shot musket would be semi-automatic as well considering you can reload it with powder, place the ball inside and fire it at a rate of about 1 shot every minute. So I guess no muskets are allowed to be displayed or pointed on TWC commercials either.
(Well maybe not considering the definition is b of a firearm : able to fire repeatedly but requiring release and another pressure of the trigger for each successive shot) |

| Not true. If the ONLY action needed to reload and shoot again is pulling the trigger then it's Semi-Automatic. If you have to do anything else between rounds then it's not Semi-Automatic.

I see what your mean. One shot every 60 seconds versus the 30 rounds Lanza fired off in 27 seconds. |

Uh, well no, muskets aren't semi-automatic. And a good musket marksman can easily fire 3 shots in 1 minute. |
