Default Re: OT: Ok, there really is nothing to see here. Except me making a fool of myself.

Doesn't it also refer to firing continuous rounds with a single held-down trigger? Semi-auto would be a round per squeeze without the need to re-cock after each shot, and burst-auto would be multiple rounds per squeeze (usually 3, IIRC), right? So, a shotgun, which fires one shell full of multiple pellets, is still not auto (semi or otherwise). It might be single or double action, though, but that's different...IIRC...sorry...just babbling again...

Under that note a "Shot gun" would fit, a sling with a bag of B-B's! where will it stop?
