An "auto sear" is NOT a selector switch. It maybe a part in the fire control group necessary for full auto fire, but its not the switch itself in any design I am familiar with, and some select fire guns don't even have an "auto sear".
but even worse is this...
Just what is that supposed to mean? That's the gun is a repeater, holding more than one round of ammo?? Or that the gun is a semi auto, so it doesn't require manual operation of the action to reload the chamber??
Probably the latter, though I also get the impression that they are implying that "more than one shot without manually reloading" is a bad thing, as well.

On top of that, there are SEMI auto guns with an "auto sear" it is simply called a "safety sear". The auto sear is not what causes FA, interrupting the disconnector is..... which typically results in "hammer follow" unless there is an AUTO SEAR to PREVENT the hammer from following prior to bolt closure.
Yea, ya don't have to know much about guns to write about em
