"Jennifer Cicolani of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives noted that a semi-automatic gun can shoot more bullets in less time than a small-caliber weapon."

Huh?

The thing that goes up makes them do that.

"Jennifer Cicolani of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives noted that a semi-automatic gun can shoot more bullets in less time than a small-caliber weapon."

That lulu caught my eye, as well.

So ... a small-caliber semi-auto, say, a .380, doesn't shoot more bullets in less time than a 1911 .45?

Say what?

Handguns and long guns are different critters. I wouldn't think a bad-ass biker would be using a rifle in an altercation like this. But a 1911 ... that's a different story.

Also, I know for a fact that in .38s, at least, a skilled single-action shooter who slips the hammer properly, can fire at a rate faster than a semi-auto. Just the same, I wouldn't expect most folks to know that, only single-action shooters who are into it.
