What is semi-automatic and full-automatic?
Semi-automatic means that the gun fires a single round every time you pull the trigger. The automatic part refers to the fact that you dont have to manually cock the gun for each shot. All gas and electric guns will be at least semi-auto. Full-Automatic means that the gun will continue to fire for as long as you hold the trigger down. The rate of fire refers to the speed the gun cycles, and varies per gun. Gas guns tend to have the highest rate of fire; for instance the KWA M11A1 can empty a 50 round magazine in just over 2 seconds! Some gas guns and nearly all electric rifles are full-auto. Burst fire is a controlled form of full-automatic where the gun will fire a certain number of shots each time you pull the trigger. The most common form is 3-round burst, which simply means that every time you pull the trigger 3 shots are fire. Very few gas and electric guns have a burst feature.
