Why do you need a semi or full automatic gun to go hunting ? Are you a
bad shot or just too lazy to reload ?

In the U.S.A., you can't hunt with a full automatic weapon. Semi auto
shotguns
are commonly used world wide for hunting. Semi auto rifles are less
common, but
can be used in most states, but generally, only with limited capacity.
(usually
five rounds)

A couple of other things, too. 1, for species such as dove, capacity is
limited
to 3 total rounds, regardless of type of action, and 2, Semi-auto
shotguns have
a place in that they are able to be used by those whose disability
precludes the
effective or even safe use of a pump or a "break-open," plus the recoil
_can_ be
less with the semi. With hunting regs, the type of gun is really just a
matter
of preference as opposed to real advantage.

Duck hunters are limited to 3 shells in the magazine too, pump or auto
(I mean semi-auto).
