the nra site is a pretty good place to learn the rules. The trick to the para you quoted is the "with a single function of the firing device". So, if you pull the trigger once, how many bullets come out?
For most weapons, the answer is 1. That is true for "semi-auto" (which automatically loads the next round, and does not require you to chamber each round manually). With this definition, even fully automatic weapons (m16a2), which fires a 3 round burst, would not be considered a "machine gun". or so i read it.
