Self-loading rifles, also known as semi-automatic rifles, are firearms that automatically load the next round after firing. This means that the shooter only needs to pull the trigger for each shot, making them faster to operate than manual-action rifles. They use the energy from the fired cartridge to eject the spent casing and chamber a new round from the magazine. These rifles are popular for various uses, including hunting, sport shooting, and military applications. Notable examples include the M1 Garand and the AR-15. Self-loading rifles typically have a magazine that holds multiple rounds, allowing for sustained fire without frequent reloading.
