Wikipedia
Automatic rifle
An automatic rifle is a type of autoloading rifle that is capable of fully automatic fire. Automatic rifles are generally select-fire weapons capable of firing in semi-automatic and automatic firing modes (some automatic rifles are capable of burst-fire as well). Automatic rifles are distinguished from semi-automatic rifles in their ability to fire more than one shot in succession once the trigger is pulled. Most automatic rifles are further subcategorized as battle rifles or assault rifles.
ChatGPT
automatic rifle
An automatic rifle is a type of firearm that is designed to fire continuously as long as the trigger is pressed and held, and there is ammunition available in the magazine. It uses energy from the recoil or from the previous shot to load the next round, rather than the user having to manually reload it. In some legal and technical definitions, an automatic rifle also includes firearms that can be set to shoot in bursts of three rounds or more with one trigger pull.
