m (Just a minor note: when using infoboxes and navbars on user pages, we generally insert a character to "break" the template so that the user page doesn't show up in categories. Some people will do {!{template name}}; I tend to prefer putting <pre>templates goes here</pre> to make it easier to read. In this case, I think you want the navbars to actually show up on the page though, so I just used the cats parameter to replace the default categories with no categories. This page looks cool though!) |

'''Semi-Automatics:'''
A side-note, before we begin: I recognize that lever-action firearms are also semi-automatic (in particular those with tubular magazines) which is what the rifles and shotguns{{book ref|sos|19}} used by [[Wax]] seem to be. However what I am referring more to in this section is semi-automatics with a removable magazine. I make this distinction because a removable magazine typically also implies a bolt that relies on blow-back or recoil to cycle the action, which is very important for further development, such as fully automatic firearms. Lever-action firearms make use of mechanical force to cycle the bolt (instead of gas blowback) and so are not relevant to the development of machine guns.
[[Jackstom Harms]] is seen brandishing a semi-automatic pistol, which is noted as being both of a modern design and popular among constables in [[Elendel]].{{book ref|sos|12}} If our world is in any way analogous of the way in which technology progresses on Scadrial, I would have expected a semi-automatic rifles to be developed first. I think it's quite reasonable to assume that they ''do'' in fact exist, and we have simply not seen them as of yet. I expect these type of removable magazine semi-automatics to become the norm very quickly in Scadrial, as they are just as reliable as a revolver but with a much higher bullet capacity.
