It isnt semantics though.

Automatic :: Semi-automatic = Auto Transmission :: Manual Transmission

Here is the problem, as I see it. Its not that complex. Your average high school drafting student can create the files from scratch. I mean some of the high end biometrics grip angle and rise height(for lng guns) etc they might not have exact. But a gun is just as deadly with a 23 degree grip angle as a 90 degree in all but the longest of shots.
