That term was misapplied to Automatic weapons by the gun industry for dramatic effect.
It worked.........!
Firearms are either manual or automatic - like Colt's original CAP = Colt Automatic Pistol.
Semi mean half - how could a Firearm be half automatic ?
Whats the other half,manual ?
Full autos are machine-guns by no other name.
Automatic guns fire & reload by just one the pull of the trigger & the activated shot of one cartridge.
