Wrong, you can buy a semi auto Barret .50 BMG, extremely powerful and still not bolt action. Also the military uses a lot of semi auto .308 Winchester (7.62x51 NATO) as sniper rifles."Sniper" rifles are bolt action simply because of the power involved.
Then you have the Israeli special forces who used a suppressed Ruger 10/22 as a sniper rifle, that's a .22LR semi auto rifle they used as sniper rifles, which they will do the job within 300 yards and be damn near silent with a suppressor actually a pretty solid choice in my opinion.
Full auto anything is just for covering fire.
Not exactly, them 20mm full auto guns on jets and helicopters are for taking out armored vehicles and while it is a lot of spray and pray going on, nothing like a mini gun against waves of charging Chinese. Helped out great against the Bonzia charging Japs and waves of Chinese in Korea.
