I admitted obsolete was a poor choice of words, they very much are still in use. They are not typically issued by military, police, or private security, but are still usually recommended to old ladies and newbies who can't be trusted to operate a contraption as complex and mysterious as an autoloader by fudds who grew up watching John Wayne and dirty Harry.
And yes, when comparing two broad categories, generalizations must be made. These generalizations are derived from the individual members of each category. I couldn't find generic cutaways to demonstrate the complex internal mechanism that is usually overlooked when making the comparison. I do like that everybody in this discussion gets to define what complexity means. If I need to compile data and perform mathematical averages and upload a spreadsheet for you to see my point, I think I'll just accept the fact that you don't.
