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.

So, I've been snooping around the Intratubes tonight on this topic. Buffalo Bore has some interesting offering. I thought I'd toss it out there; any recommendations on 10×25㎜ Automatic ammunition that is on the peppier side of things?
Thanks!
P.S. Handgun in said, for now, is a Tanfoglio.
Before Kel-Tec, this was was what people saw when they searched "bullpup shotgun." Designed as a fighting shotgun for Police, it never caught on although it can be seen in some movies. If you have heard it is unreliable, you are right if you feed it birdshot. With buckshot and slugs, its been...

I did not put this in the NFA sub-forum because - IMO - it has more to do with laws, crime and somewhat gun control, than it does with discussion of NFA firearms in and of themselves.
If mods think I am off-base in that opinion then as they see fit they can move it to the NFA sub-forum...
Figured I would share how I deal with this issue. A recent thread on small primer pocket .45ACP vrs. large primer pocket trigged me to post this. Just happened to have .45ACP brass processing next up so today shot this short video showing how the AmmoBot auto-drive system with the primer...
Hello, I was deep into one of my gun safes and found these two "letter Openers." I don't remember where or why I got them, but obviously I don't need them anymore. Perhaps you need a new "Letter Opener" because of all the junk mail that you are getting?
One of these is a lever lock and the black...

Very neat classic pocket pistol. American made Bauer .25 auto, with 1 magazine. Virtually identical to the Baby Browning, the barrel turns in the opposite direction for take-down, that's about it for differences. 6+1 capacity, don't see these as often as you used to.
