In contract bridge, an Automatic squeeze is a squeeze which can be executed automatically that means without guesswork. The cards that have to be played and the order in which they are played can always be determined. In other words, if the squeeze is on, it can always be executed successfully. This is in contrast to a non-automatic squeeze in which the contract can always be made, if the discards of the opponents are guessed. A good example of an automatic squeeze is the simple squeeze an example of a non-automatic squeeze would be the criss-cross squeeze.
Although the squeeze was already discovered and described in whist, its use was best described and perfected in contract bridge.
Single-suit squeeze is peculiar and rare, and presents a specific type of endplay rather than "real" squeeze.
In squeezes without count, the count is not rectified; often, it involves a throw-in in the end position (strongly related with non-material) squeezes.
A semi-automatic pistol works by automatically extracting and ejecting a fired cartridge from the chamber, and then loading an unfired cartridge from a magazine into the chamber to be ready for the next trigger pull.
For example, an automatic pistol technically refers to a machine pistol, although in popular American usage it is also used as a synonym for a semi-automatic pistol.
In the case of pistols, an 'automatic pistol', a 'semi-automatic pistol', or a 'self-loading pistol', all usually imply a handgun that is semi-automatic, self-loading, and magazine-fed with a magazine that is removable, producing one shot fired for each trigger pull.
