Wrong understanding of what auto means here

IRL: automatic weapon means a weapon that cycles automatically

ie: as long as you hold the trigger, etc... the weapon fire, cycles ie: ejects empty cartridge/shell/etc... to clear the chamber or path for the next round, loads the next round and ready the weapon to fire again and if the weapon trigger is still held... it fires the round immediately, etc... without the need for the user to manually cycle the weapon (though he may need to power it).

in game terms as far as we are concerned... any weapon that will continuously fire if you hold the trigger is an auto weapon.

and attica is indeed an auto weapon in game because as long as you  hold the trigger button, it will continously fire bolts until it expended it's magazine much like the chinese automatic crossbow (hence the reference).
