'''Semi-Automatic''' is the [[Sniper Monkey (BTD6)|Sniper Monkey]]'s path 3 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It reduces the Sniper Monkey's [[Attack Cooldown|attack cooldown]] by ~66.67%, effectively tripling its [[attack speed]]. With this upgrade, Sniper Monkey shoots ~6.12x faster than if it had no upgrades.

Semi-Automatic's two crosspaths serve very different roles. Both crosspaths are concentrated versions of lower-tier Snipers, with its much higher attack speed significantly improving reliability. 0-2-3 is geared towards popping groups of bloons, provided it faces against them, while 2-0-3 offers accurate single-target damage.

0-2-3 is a decent tower for the early mid-game, dealing good and well-rounded damage on maps where it can be placed to shoot Bloons while they travel toward it (such as [[Infernal]]). However, it falls apart on maps where such placements are not available, such as [[Bloody Puddles]] and [[Ouch|#Ouch]]. The 0-2-3 Semi-Automatic pairs very well with a 3-2-0 {{B|Berserker Brew|BTD6}}, which grants much-needed damage, pierce, and attack speed.

The 2-0-3 Semi-Automatic is tailored towards mid-game {{B|MOAB|BTD6}}s. However, it struggles against groups of MOABs, making it not optimal for this purpose. While the 2-0-3 Semi-Automatic can be used against early-game {{B|Lead Bloon|BTD6}}s and {{B|Zebra Bloon|BTD6}}s, it is too expensive and struggles immensely to Round 36.

*Internally, this upgrade also increases the pierce of the main attack from 1 to 5, but it has no effect because the bullet ignores all [[Bloon]]s except the target.
