Just curious, do ANY militaries actually issue SEMI-automatic rifles for warfare? I am under the impression that the militaries of the world use automatic/semi-automatic rifles, i.e. switchable between semi and automatic.

If I am right, then why does the left refer to AR-15s as "Military Style Rifles" or "Weapons of War". Of course I already know the answer to that one.
