👉 An automatic weapon is a type of firearm designed to fire multiple rounds without the need for manual reloading or adjustment after each shot. It operates through a mechanism that automatically cycles the magazine to release rounds and fires them, often with the aid of a trigger pull or other automatic action. This design allows for rapid and sustained fire, making it highly effective in combat situations where quick response times are crucial. However, the use of automatic weapons is heavily regulated due to their potential for causing significant harm and the ethical concerns surrounding their deployment.
