It isn't a Semi, it is a lever-action. IRL, a Semi will allow you to fire consistantly just by pulling the trigger. A Lever-action requires a person to work a lever to put the next shot in. Lever-actions are more similar to bolt-actions.

In game, this is shown by the user being unscoped after firing the M1866. An in-game Semi would not unscope you unless you ran out of ammo.
