I agree with Double Naught. Automatic can refer to full or semi auto but, because of the media, the general public automatically take it to mean full auto. I use the term every now and then and get horrified looks and a comment along the lines of "But full auto is illegal!!!" Best rebuttal I've found is "When did I say 'Full' Auto?".
