The Nerf version was specific with its definition when the term first came out and whatnot, so it does require a trigger to be held down to activate it. Otherwise, so many blasters become "slam fire" and, as a thing that is a term with Nerf blasters, there needs to be a line drawn somewhere.

I mean, by all means, you could say they're slam fire. But in terms of if they're an actual slam fire blaster by definition, they're not. It's more just... rapid firing based on pump-action priming and firing.
