An automatic handgun is not a fully automatic weapon. Glocks are automatics because the automatically reload after every pull of the trigger. A tec 9 is a fully automatic handgun. A AR-15 is the automatic version of the fully automatic m-16. Semi automatic comes from the labeling of selector switches on fully automatic weapons.
