Gun Terminology

Hi Jow Forums

I know Jow Forums is not for gun control discussion but I am just asking to have some terms clarified for me and I genuinely want to inform myself about guns.
So, every time I see discussion of gun control, the terms most commonly used are 'semi automatic', or 'assault style'. And people always seem to take offense at these terms and suggest that their use is un-informed and laughable.
Someone on /tv/ told me that 'select fire rifle' was the correct term, but wikipedia suggests that means:
>Selective fire means the capability of a weapon to be adjusted to fire in semi-automatic, burst mode, and/or fully automatic firing mode
So 'semi automatic' would be 'select fire' as would what I imagine 'assault style' to mean.

I'm not trying to get into an argument over whether this is justified or not, but If we wanted to enact laws to ban the guns most efficient for mass murdering crowds of people, what would the educated terminology and definitions to refer to those guns be?
I've been told over and over to 'ask Jow Forums' and now i'm doing it.
also as a side note i quite like guns, and would like to own a hunting rifle one day and hunt pigs and deer, but i would like a (bolt action?) gun, which requires a lengthy action between each fire, for sporting reasons.

Thanks

>wants to ban guns
>can't understand basic English
Sounds about right.

google it you spoiled retard
no one is going to spoon feed you

I don't want to ban guns, I want to use language which is accurate and non-offensive for people who care about them.

Do you enjoy having the general public uneducated about guns and using incorrect terms?

first of all: not all select fire weapons have a burst mode or fully automatic mode. those are typically only M16s/M4s used in the military, and you're not even allowed to use it unless you're in combat or maybe simulating combat.

semi automatic means you pull the trigger, the firing pin drops, the bullet in the chamber is fired, and the bolt draws back and ejects the brass before riding forward again to chamber a new round from the spring-loaded magazine.

semi-auto is one bullet at a time. and yes technically an AR-15 is "select fire" in that you can select between safe and semi. but there is no burst or auto fire without special permission and expensive licensing (which is being challenged in court now)

don't listen to the lazy retards here, Jow Forums wants you to be informed about guns.

Please do no post subhumans fats on Jow Forums

yes

thanks user.
So your average semi auto would have a 20-30 round magazine?
Whereas a bolt action hunting rifle would hold 6-10 bullets?

And I would assume that a bolt action rifle would take atleast twice as long to fire 10 bullets?

also is 'bolt action rifle' the correct terms for a gun which requires a manual action to chamber each bullet?

or basically, the kind of rifle which is inefficient at mass murdering a crowd of people
