    A lot of people get this wrong. The link below is an example of full auto

    Interesting video choice to display the difference between semi-automatic and fully automatic fire, considering it does not actually show or explain the difference.

    I agree with Murph it doesn’t fit the OP.
    It does make me wonder where they got the guns. The usual answe isIndiana… but you cannot but full auto over tue counter in a Diana.. or any where that I know of..

    I wonder if the OP will divulge the real purpose of this thread.

    At its most simplistic, semi-auto requires a squeeze of a trigger for every bullet that it fires, whereas full auto only requires one to squeeze the trigger once and hold it to fire multiple rounds. (I know you know this, Murph.) Of course, it's not exactly that simple because we have bump stocks (which more or less convert a semi-auto into a fully auto), three-round bursts, etc. But yeah, this video definitely doesn't explain the difference.

    Almost certainly “Wish switches” ordered from China. The auto-sear for a Glock replaces the back plate on the slide, and lots of people have mail-ordered them from China (which has sellers listing them as “airsoft parts” on sites like Wish or Ali) either not realizing, or without caring, that it’s a serious federal felony.

    ATF, Customs, and the Postal Service have been pretty aggressive in tracking them down, but a whole lot seem to have made it into the country and, primarily, into the hands of street gangs.

    OP why did you post this? What are we missing besides an actual comparison?

    Pretty callous of OP to post this video with a simple "this is automatic gunfire" declaration, considering someone was killed in this video outside of the camera view.

    I'm confused by the OP, as well. I thought it was:

    Automatic = extremist, skinhead, neo-racist, Nazi (some of you act like you never played Wolfenstein)
    Semi-auto = angry white male, but still spy on him because just because
    No gun at all = educated individual, definitely not racist

    Neither have I ever heard of or played Wolfenstein. Are all of the character types you described in it?
