Modern semiautomatic weapons became available around the turn of the 19th century. Early in the 20th Century, these types of weapons become widely available.
Although revolvers have been around since the early 1800's and CAN fit the definition of semiautomatic: "Firing ONE round for every pull of the trigger" they generally are excluded as it is human muscles that rotate the cylinder in preparation for the next shot. This is not different that working a bolt-action, or pumping a shotgun. If there was a revolver-type handgun that used the RECOIL of the previous shot to rotate the cylinder, that COULD be considered semiautomatic.
