Detailed syntax guide

The English language has been butchered so often…
A rifle that is semi-automatic is a semi-automatic rifle - such as the M1 Garand.  
A rifle that is full automatic is an auto rifle - such as the BAR.  
A rifle that has two or more of semi-automatic, full automatic, or burst-fire is select-fire - such as the M4 carbine.
 
An automatic loading rifle is not an auto rifle, they are two different things…

I do recognize the Garand as a semi auto, but derpibooru doesn’t have the tag somauto rifle we’ll do
 
“Auto rifle” means semi auto. Cdpaliden was using false information to remove that tag.
Oooor, we could just leave it at “gun”…because it’s so important to get the classification on this art of an anthro pony just right…  
Seriously, every image with a gun on the internet doesn’t need to have an argument in the comments.

For the record, the M1 Garand is not an auto rifle, it is semi-automatic. Tag removed.
 
Semi automatic is an ‘auto rifle’(Also ‘auto pistol’s), a full auto rifle is a ‘select fire’.
 
‘Auto’ is an abbreviation of ‘automatic’ and ‘automatic’ means that the gun automatically reloads itself when the previous cartridge is fired.
For the record, the M1 Garand is not an auto rifle, it is semi-automatic. Tag removed.
