“I have mostly automatics and I like them”

Again you display ignorance. I’d bet you have no fully automatic weapons. A fully automatic weapon fires repeatedly as long as the trigger is held down until it is out of ammo. Civilians can own them but it’s an arduous and expensive process. A semi-automatic weapon fires one round for each pull of the trigger until it is out of ammo. Don’t feel too bad, the media constantly tries to equate the two in the mind of the public.

Oh, and revolvers can jam too. When a revolver jams it’s likely a trip to the gunshop or at least require disassembly. I have had Glocks for 20 years and never had one fail to fire after thousands of rounds fired.

Easy, MtBaldy. The poster has already stated they do not have an expertise in firearms. We ought to embrace this person and teach them, not insult them.

Did you know what I meant by automatic?

The nitpickyness on this thread makes me think that someone put itchy powder in all of your underwear.
