automatic firearms

Automatic firearms are weapons designed to shoot multiple rounds rapidly with a single pull of the trigger. When the trigger is held down, the gun continuously cycles through firing, ejecting spent cartridges and loading new ones from the magazine, allowing for sustained fire without needing to reset the trigger. These firearms are capable of high-volume shooting, making them distinct from semi-automatic guns, which fire once per trigger pull. Used primarily by military and law enforcement, automatic firearms require strict regulation due to their capacity for rapid, continuous firing.
