Automatic = pull and hold the trigger to fire multiple shots. Some guns are limited to a 3-round burst per trigger pull and some will empty the magazine.

Semi-automatic = pull the trigger and fire one shot. The spent shell will be ejected and the next cartridge will be loaded into the chamber, but the trigger must be released and pulled again to fire each subsequent shot.
