Automatic weapons work by using the energy from the firing of a round to automatically cycle the gun’s action and load a new round into the chamber. This allows the weapon to fire a continuous stream of bullets as long as the trigger is held down. However, automatic weapons are heavily regulated in many countries due to the potential for misuse and the danger they pose to public safety.
