Explanation:
automat = vatreno oružje koje ima mogućnost automatske paljbe


An automatic firearm continuously fires rounds as long as the trigger is pressed or held and there is ammunition in the magazine/chamber. In contrast, a semi-automatic firearm fires one round with each individual trigger-pull.

Full-automatic firearm types
Automatic firearms can be divided into six main categories:

Automatic rifle
The standard type of service rifles in most modern armies, usually capable of selective fire. Assault rifles are a specific type of select-fire rifle chambered in an intermediate cartridge and fed via a high-capacity detachable magazine. Battle rifles are similar, but chambered in a full-powered cartridge.[6]
Automatic shotgun
A type of combat shotgun that is capable of firing shotgun shells automatically, usually also semi-automatically.[6]
Machine gun
A large group of heavier firearms used for suppressive automatic fire of rifle ammunition, usually attached to a mount or supported by a bipod. Depending on size, weight and role, machine guns are divided into heavy, medium or light machine guns. The ammunition is often belt-fed.[6]
Submachine gun
An automatic, short rifle (carbine) that uses pistol cartridges. Today seldom used militarily, due to body armour making them ineffective, but they are commonly used by police forces and close protection units in many parts of the world.[6]
Personal defense weapon
A new breed of automatic firearms that combine the lightness and size of the submachine gun with the medium power calibre ammunition of rifle, thus in practice creating a submachine gun with body armor penetration capability.[6]
Machine pistol
A handgun-style firearm, capable of fully automatic or burst fire. They are sometimes equipped with a foldable shoulder stock, to enable better accuracy during automatic fire, which then makes them very similar to submachine guns. Some machine pistols are shaped very similar to semi-automatics (e.g. the Glock 18). As with SMGs, machine pistols fire pistol caliber cartridges (such as the 9mm, .40, .45 ACP etc.).

disagree  Daryo: you are confusing ONE type of automatic weapons with a whole class/category of weapons.
