I believe that this page is going in the wrong direction. "Repeating rifle" is customarily refers to lever actions, pumps, revolving rifles, and bolt actions. Semi and full autos are (typically) not included in the definition of repeaters.

The direction this article is going could be misleading to readers, but then again the whole firearms section needs reorganization. -CrucifiedChrist

[edit] early repeaters

Should early repeating guns, like the Kathloff repeater for instance, be added to this page?

Granted, most repeating guns before the 19th century were smooth bore, and therefore not rifles, but they still may be worth mentioning. Oracleofdelphi (talk) 21:36, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
