self-loader
Cycles its own action
A self-loader is a firearm that automatically chambers the next round after firing, using energy from the discharged cartridge.
The term covers semi-automatic pistols, rifles, and shotguns—weapons that reload themselves but fire only once per trigger pull.
He preferred a self-loader for home defense over a revolver.
