semi-automatic rifle

A semi-automatic rifle is a firearm that fires one bullet each time the trigger is pulled. After firing, it automatically ejects the spent cartridge, chambers a new round from the magazine, and is ready to fire again with another trigger pull. This allows for faster firing than manual firearms that require a separate action for each shot. Semi-automatic rifles are commonly used for hunting, sport shooting, and personal defense, offering a balance of firepower and ease of use. They differ from fully automatic weapons, which continuously fire with a single hold of the trigger.
