A semiautomatic firearm fires one shot with each pull of the trigger. A fully automatic firearm is a machinegun. When you pull the trigger, the weapon will fire until the trigger is released, or it runs out of ammo. There are forms of full auto firearms that fire a predetermined number of shots with each trigger pull- usually 3. This is known as "burst" fire- but is in the same LEGAL class as fully automatic.
