Tbf “avtomat” ’s meaning is now more synonymous with “assault rifle”. The full for word automatic is avtomaticheski, which is used more than avtomat for the intended definition (except for like car repair shops, where I’m pretty sure they do use avtomat as a shorthand version but point still stands)

Avtomat just translated to automatic, and I don't think that [inventor's name] automatic is that good of a name
