English term or phrase: select-fire
Bonjour,

sauriez-vous comment traduire le terme "select-fire" lorsqu'il s'agit d'un "select-fire grenade launcher" ? S'agit-il d'un semi-automatique ou est-ce autre chose ?

"He’s got a design to do a select fire Mark 19 grenade launcher. With a select fire highly accurate weapon, you’re not talking about just knocking down city blocks, ok? You’re talking about direct pinpoint fire."
