Yes, thanks to media misinformation, you are right about what they would call it. Even though a fully automatic gun that looks like an AR15 would technically be a submachine gun.
But you're wrong about the difference. The real difference, the one that really matters, is that a machine gun can fire 300+ rounds per minute. A semi auto can do nowhere near that.
Anyways, based on your lack of ability and/or willingness to properly differentiate if you you say you drive a sportscar I will assume it is really a Yugo.
