Semi automatic means that it is effectively an automatic weapon, except that you have to pull the trigger for each shot. However, the expelling of the previous shell, the loading of the next shell, and the "cocking" of the hammer, as it were, occur automatically.

I have fired a 9mm pistol that is a semi auto. Depending on the loader, you get 10-14 rounds, and you can pull them as fast as you can hit the spacebar on your keyboard repeatedly - basically, 2 per second, I suspect. You can put probably 3 shots into someone before they have really reacted to the first one.

Good for hunting, yessir.

I could go either way on the semi-automatic then. Don't really feel strongly one way or another about it.

and i'm not just saying that because he's a Ravens fan [no offense, Vick].

Hey the Raven's won a Super Bowl with no offense

Or did that mean Micheal Vick could be the answer to the Raven's no offense challenges?

At the city gate and by your fireside I have seen you
prostrate yourself and worship your own freedom,
Even as slaves humble themselves before a tyrant and
praise him though he slays them.
Ay, in the grove of the temple and in the shadow of the
citadel I have seen the freest among you wear their freedom
as a yoke and a handcuff.
And my heart bled within me; for you can only be free when
even the desire of seeking freedom becomes a harness to you,
and when you cease to speak of freedom as a goal and a
fulfilment.

You shall be free indeed when your days are not without
a care nor your nights without a want and a grief,
But rather when these things girdle your life and yet you
rise above them naked and unbound.

And how shall you rise beyond your days and nights unless
you break the chains which you at the dawn of your understanding
have fastened around your noon hour?
In truth that which you call freedom is the strongest of these
chains, though its links glitter in the sun and dazzle your eyes.

And what is it but fragments of your own self you would
discard that you may become free?
If it is an unjust law you would abolish, that law was written
with your own hand upon your own forehead.
You cannot erase it by burning your law books nor by washing
the foreheads of your judges, though you pour the sea upon them.

And if it is a despot you would dethrone, see first that his
throne erected within you is destroyed. For how can a tyrant rule
the free and the proud, but for a tyranny in their own freedom
and a shame in their own pride?
And if it is a care you would cast off, that care has been
chosen by you rather than imposed upon you.
And if it is a fear you would dispel, the seat of that fear
is in your heart and not in the hand of the feared.

Verily all things move wrthin your being in constant half embrace,
the desired and the dreaded, the repugnant and the cherished,
the pursued and that which you would escape.
These things move within you as lights and shadows in pairs that
cling.
And when the shadow fades and is no more, the light that lingers
becomes a shadow to another light.
And thus your freedom when it loses its fetters becomes itself
the fetter of a greater freedom."

Kahlil Gibran
The Prophet.
