One initial piece of advice, though. There is no such thing as a 'Semi-Automatic Machine gun'. I'll just do a brief go-over of the major types of small arms for ye.

Pistol - small-caliber sidearm, revolvers, semi-automatics (sometimes with full-auto capacity). Example: M1911

Sub-machine gun - Pistol-caliber automatic weapon. Not too useful at long range. Example: MP5, PPSh-41

Battle rifle / Semi-automatic rifle - Higher caliber than a pistol (ex. 5.56 instead of 9mm parabellum). One trigger pull = one shot.

Assault rifle - A battle rifle with full automatic capacity.

Machine gun - (usually) not rifled (meaning less accurate) automatic weapon with large ammunition capacity used for taking on multiple targets, suppressing an area, taking down lightly armored targets, etc.

Shotgun - Close combat weapon that can fire a wide variety of types of ammunition, usually multiple projectiles simultaneously (albeit from a single shell).

Sniper rifle - Long-range semi-automatic or bolt-action rifle for accurate, slower shooting.

Missile launcher - Man-operated guided projectile for use against hard targets / aircraft

Rocket launcher - Man operated unguided projectile launcher for use against hard targets.
