#2) The ONLY reason I brought up Bolt Action is because the OP did so,
and I brought up Lee Harvey Oswald to illustrate myth that "Bolt Actions are safer". Oswald fired 3 well aimed shots in under 6 seconds with a somewhat awkward antique Bolt Action Rifle.

Some of those are every bit as fast as a semi-auto.
