🔍Trivia Answer
Continuous Fire with a Single Trigger Pull

An automatic rifle is designed to continuously fire rounds as long as the trigger is held down, allowing for rapid, sustained shooting. In contrast, a semi-automatic rifle fires only one round per trigger pull, requiring the shooter to release and pull the trigger again for each subsequent shot.
