Semiautomatic means it reloads automatically. A bolt action, manual-reload rifle would be useless against a mob, which was the stated threat profile.

You seem to be on a different thread from your parent.

I got from your parent "a semiautomatic rifle takes two hands to shoot, so how do you plan to shoot rifles?"

Good point. With your comment for perspective I am now laughing at my interpretation. :)
