One pull of the trigger one shot.'

Notice that it fires very quickly.

Now here is a comparison between a semi auto and a machine gun.

Notice the difference. Now you may want to fast forward to the shooting part cause this guy talks a lot.

And here's the almost obligatory girl with gun video.

Just want to point out that for some semi-autos rapid fire doesn't need special equipment. Bump fire as it's some times called is a problem for some SKS surplus carbines. Some semi-auto firearms go into bump fire mode with "soft" primers. In some firearms you can "ride" the trigger to create the bump fire effect.

I have yet to see an old style hunting semi auto with a bump fire problem. It always seems to be sporter style semi-autos.

That would be a defacto ban on 99.9% of semiautomatic pistols. As such, it would be unconstitional. Just reading posts Jun 2016 #79
