There's no such thing as a “single shot semi auto”.

“Single shot” means that the gun only holds one round. You load one round into the gun, fire it, then you have to load another before you can fire again.

“Semi auto” means that the gun has a magazine that holds multiple round,s and when you fire it, some of the explosive force of the round is harnessed to work the action, to eject the spent case, and load the next round into the chamber, and set the gun up for the next shot.

In between those two is a “repeater”; it has a magazine holding multiple rounds, but between shots, you have to work the action to set it up for the next shot. A pump-action shotgun is a good example.

Actually all assault rifles hold only one round maximum at a time, the rest of the rounds are in the clip.

Because the taxes are too fruitful for govt coffers...

I am banning myself from reading anymore threads created by you...

Because cigarettes kill 500,000 people a year in the USA? Why are they not banned?
True, but Tobacco kills 1315 americans EVERY SINGLE DAY, why is this legal?
 
Then they need to ban sugar as diabetes is right up there with it, but notice they just add taxes to sugary (and non) drinks instead...

Military assault rifles are not single shot semi autos

I'm curious: What exactly is a "single shot semi auto"?

There's no such thing. The term is self-contradictory.

Rather like something else I came across, years ago, a news account of a gun being sold, which had once belonged to Annie Oakley. It was described as a “smoothbore rifle”. No such thing, The terms “smoothbore” and “rifle” are mutually exclusive. If a gun is smoothbore, then it cannot be a rifle. If it's a rifle, then it cannot be smoothbore. Just as a gun cannot be “single shot” and also be “semi auto”.

All of these guns are semi-automatic. Pull the trigger once, and the next shell if ready to fire.

Very true. They have no clue as to which end of the gun the bullet comes out of but the "KNOW" what is a dangerous weapon. It LOOKS dangerous.

Technically, a revolver isn't really considered semi-automatic, though in practical terms, a double-action revolver might as well be.

I do have a gun to which the term “single shot semi auto” could be stretched to apply. It's an old Savage .22 rifle.

With the bolt locked open, it's very easy to just insert a round by hand, directly into the chamber, so you could just leave the magazine unloaded, or even leave it out altogether, and operate it as a single-shot.

Or, you could load the magazine up, work the action,and then leave the bolt locked closed, and operate it as a repeater; between each shot, you'd unlock the bolt, work the action, then lock the bolt again before the next shot.

Or, if you load it up with .22LR rounds, and leave the bolt unlocked, it operates as a semiautomatic.

Single shot refers to the number of rounds fired when the trigger is pulled once without being released and pulled again.

Sheesh

Single shot is how many rounds are fired when the trigger is pulled.

Get a grip and try to deal with the real world

Your statement in the OP is correct. Unfortunately, the reason for your statement is that you're an idiot. :smoke:
