This video clarifies the common misconception between 'automatic' and 'semi-automatic' pistols, specifically regarding the M1911. Expertly citing historical military designations and technical manuals, the presenter explains that 'automatic' in this context refers to the firearm's auto-loading cycle of operation, not full-auto fire. The M1911 was officially designated 'Pistol, Automatic, Caliber .45' by the U.S. military, a nomenclature that persists in common parlance.

The Steyr M1912/16 Repetierpistole is an extremely rare, full-auto variant of the standard M12 pistol, developed for the Austro-Hungarian military during WWI. It features a 16-round fixed magazine, a high cyclic rate of 1200 RPM, and was designed to be used with a shoulder stock. Production was limited to 200 units, with very few surviving today, making authentic examples highly sought after and fakes common.

The Steyr M1912/16 Repetierpistole is the full-auto variant of the Steyr-Hahn M.12 pistol.

The Beretta 951A was an automatic variant of the successful Model 51 pistol, developed to create a machine pistol. Modifications included a folding front grip and increased slide mass to reduce its cyclic rate to approximately 750 RPM. Despite these efforts, the 951A saw limited production (around 78 units) due to practical issues like muzzle climb and limited capacity, ultimately leading to the more refined Beretta 93R.

The Glock 18 and 18C are select-fire machine pistols with a unique selector switch for semi-automatic or full-automatic fire.
