automatic
An automatic firearm is an auto-loading firearm that continuously chambers and fires rounds when the trigger mechanism is actuated. The action of an automatic firearm is capable of harvesting the excess energy released from a previous discharge to feed a new ammunition round into the chamber, and then ignite the propellant and discharge the projectile (either bullet, shots or slug) by delivering a hammer/striker impact on the primer.
If both the feeding and ignition procedures are automatically cycled, the weapon will be considered "fully automatic" and will fire continuously as long as the trigger is kept depressed and the ammunition feeding (either from a magazine or a belt) remains available. In contrast, a firearm is considered "semi-automatic" if it only automatically cycles to chamber new rounds (i.e. self-loading) but does not automatically fire off the shot unless the user manually resets (usually by releasing) and re-actuates the trigger, so only one round gets discharged with each individual trigger-pull. A burst-fire firearm is an "in-between" of fully and semi-automatic firearms, firing a brief continuous "burst" of multiple rounds with each trigger-pull, but then will require a manual re-actuation of the trigger to fire another burst.
Although all semi-automatic, burst-fire, and fully automatic firearms are "automatic" in the technical sense, the terms "automatic weapon" and "automatic firearm" are used to describe fully automatic firearms. Use of more specific terms such as "full-auto", "semi-auto" or "burst-firing" can help avoid confusion. Automatic weapons that can switch between the aforementioned firing modes are known as selective fire weapons.
Automatic firearms are further defined by the type of cycling principles used, such as recoil operation, blowback, blow-forward or gas operation.

Beginner question for all of you. Not for any hunting purposes but rather to teach my kids shooting at a range, which would you recommend? (Ruger American vs Ruger 10/22. Is there a reason to have both? I can't think of a reason to have both a bolt action and a semi automatic 22LR rifle, but...
Well.. this is fun. Starting with a test run in Maine, and as part of the new enhanced BGC for 18-20yr olds recently passed in congress, all 18-20yr olds attempting to purchase a firearm will have an automatic delay... no cause required. Besides an auto 10day waiting period why does that suck so...

Vintage Colt .32 Auto magazine for the Model 1903 Pocket Hammerless.
Appears to be very lightly used, if not unused.
I believe it is the later 8-shot style, but still likely pre-WWII.
I would appreciate any information or insight anyone has as to the correct era of manufacture. I was unable...
The genesis of this wackiness, beyond really enjoying revolver shooting as of late, is earlier in the year I bought a copy of a book, or rather two volumes combined, that covers the topic. It was written in the interwar period, at least one of which appears to have been published originally in...
