Fully automatic firearms using pistol-caliber ammunition are called Machine pistol or Submachine gun (largely on the basis of size); Selective-fire rifles firing a full-power rifle cartridge from a closed bolt are called Browning Automatic Rifle, while those using a reduced-power rifle cartridge are called Assault rifle.
Other automatic weapons are subdivided into several categories based on the size of the bullet used, and whether the Cartridge (weaponry) is fired from a positively locked Closed bolt, or a non-positively locked Open bolt.

 Semi-automatic firearm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A semi-automatic firearm is one that requires only a trigger pull for each round that is fired, unlike a single-action revolver, a pump-action firearm, a bolt-action firearm, or a lever-action firearm, which require the shooter to manually chamber each successive round.
One narrow definition would be that a semi-automatic firearm would thus be a weapon using the open bolt system, and the semi-automatic function is simply the removal of the case, whereas an automatic weapon would both remove the empty case and chamber a fresh cartridge.
Firearms firing bursts of more than one round (usually three) per pull of the trigger, such as the M16A2 rifle, are generally considered fully automatic.
