This is fully automatic as in you hold the trigger down and the weapon will continue to fire until the magazine is empty. the fire rate is not very high. This weapon is a manual reload as in you have to press the reload button when you are out of rounds. It isn't automatically done for you. if you reload twice you add an extra round into the weapon since there is one already in the chamber.
