autoloader
Automatic feeding device
An autoloader is a firearm that automatically chambers the next round after firing, using the energy from each shot to eject the spent cartridge and load a fresh one.
The term distinguishes such weapons from manually operated guns like bolt-action rifles or revolvers.
In computing and software, an autoloader is code that automatically loads classes or modules when needed, eliminating manual include statements: The framework's autoloader handles dependency resolution.
