autoload
Loads without prompting
Autoload means to load automatically, without manual intervention.
In computing, software or data that autoloads starts up when a system boots or a program launches: The extension autoloads when you open the browser.
For firearms, autoload describes weapons that chamber the next round automatically after firing—synonymous with semiautomatic.
The noun form refers to this capability or the act itself.
