Semi-automatic pistol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It is generally handgun that can fire semi-automatic by automatically reloading stored rounds into the firing chamber. In Russia the Nagant revolver remained the primary handgun because of a lack of pistols. While both types of weapons operate on the same principles, fully automatic weapons must be built more ruggedly to accommodate the heat and shock caused by rapid firing, and it can be difficult (and illegal) to turn one action into the other type. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Semi-automatic_handgun   (1507 words)

Preferred Arms - Firearms Semi-autos typically hold between 6 and 15 rounds plus an additional round in the chamber (recent handgun laws, however, limit the capacity of "civilian-purchased" handguns to 10 rounds) although for theatrical purposes, it is rare that more than 1 or 2 shots will be needed. Handguns of this variety (see photos at right) are commonly seen in movies and on television in the hands of police, military and your various urban thugs and criminals. These are the handgun of choice for TV private eyes and "veteran police officers that get partnered with hot headed young rookies armed with a flashy.45 (Danny Glover in Lethal Weapon for one example)." Revolvers get their name from the cylinder in the center of the handgun that holds the ammunition. www.preferredarms.com /Firearms.htm   (725 words)

Assault Weapons Further, a bullet fired from a semi-automatic weapon is no more powerful than one of the same caliber fired from a corresponding non-semi-automatic handgun, rifle, or shotgun. However, current "assault weapon" legislation defines certain semi-automatic weapons as "assault weapons." A semi-automatic weapon is one that fires a round with each pull of the trigger, versus an automatic weapon which continues to shoot until the trigger is released or the ammunition supply is exhausted. A genuine assault weapon, as opposed to a legal definition, is a hand-held, selective fire weapon, which means it's capable of firing in either an automatic or a semiautomatic mode depending on the position of a selector switch. www.guncite.com /gun_control_gcassaul.html   (1831 words)
