	Semi-automatic firearm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		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.
		For instance, if someone were to shoot ten rounds in a semi-automatic firearm, he would need to pull the trigger ten times (once for each round fired), as opposed to a fully-automatic firearm, which will continue to fire as long as the trigger is held or until it runs out of ammunition.
		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.

		The term "break action" covers action types in which the barrel is "broken" from the breech block by use of a hinge.
