Auto Wha?

[Ripcal]

I just noticed something. The guns, AutoMag, and Autococker, both have the word Auto (Automatic) but none are actually automatic. The automatics have names like Angel and Impulse. I just think its wierd why these 2 guns bot have auto in their name, but they aren't. The angel should be called the automag when you think about it.

autococker has an automated cocking system... or does it..

The auto cocker grew out of a pump gun(sniper) so teh gun went from pump to being AUTOmaticaly cocked with each triger pull. Hence teh auto

impulses aren't full auto

Thats just normal gun talk. Any gun that loads the next round "automatically" is an auto. Full auto or select fire is how an angel would be termed.

Automags ect. Shot faster cuz the cocking has blah blah blah blah! some one explained it (see deagain`s post)

I think what you're getting hung up on is the use of the prefix "auto". Auto just means that something (not neccessarily firing) is done without manual operation. The name AutoCocker. It Automatically Cocks. If want a gun that shoots more than one ball per trigger pull, you want "Full Auto", which a normal impulse is not a member of. I am unaware if you can modify it to shoot full auto or not (probably can).
