On topic.. I often refer to my autoloading rifles, shotguns and pistols as autoloaders, even though they only fire one round per trigger pull.
The revolvers and bolt action rifles, I mostly call 'tack-drivers'. The non-autoloading shotgun is called 'Clem' or the coach gun.
I wouldn't own a full auto in a caliber smaller than .20mm. Waste, in my opinion. Besides, I'm poor now, and don't run in those circles with guys that spend $5000US for a weekend of shooting anymore. ;)

Same here except maybe for a Thompson or Uzi in urban environs. Seems to be a great tool for keeping heads down. WWII GIs and Israeli commandos can't be all wrong. ;)
