text: A semi-automatic rifle is a type of self-loading repeating rifle (also called autoloader) whose action will automatically cycle (ejects and rechambers) a new round after each shot, but requires the shooter to manually release the trigger and reset/recock the sear and hammer/striker before pulling again to fire another shot; thus, only one round can be discharged with each pull of the trigger.
