It is distinguished from a fully Automatic Rifle in that it can only fire once each time the trigger is pulled. Note that depending on context, an automatic rifle may refer to a semi-automatic/SLR rifle. Some semi-automatic rifles are commonly believed to be easily converted to full automatic fire. Such perceived (but generally false, as well as highly illegal) easy conversions have attracted the attention of Gun Control advocates, as nominally semi-automatic rifles are much more freely available than fully-automatic ones in many jurisdictions. For example, it is possible in the U.S. to purchase a semi-automatic M60 Machine Gun , but the internals are extensively modifed to the point new parts and expert machining would be needed to convert it to fully automatic fire. Because it is semi-automatic, it is usually governed by the same rules as other rifles (though these rules vary considerably).
