[2001 ZTS]

Though the action of a Colt 45 is in fact "semi" (one round/pull of the trigger) pistols with magazines are usually refered to as "automatics" because the recoiling slide "automatically" re-cocks the hammer and loads the next round.

As for the test, I am a Federal Conservative with a sense of humour because I would have said something sensitive like:

"just lika a ___________, bringing a knife to a gun fight"

before I squeezed one off.
