Lets clarify some things:
Fully automatic means one squeeze of the trigger and you can fire until the clip is empty. These weapons are illegal for the general public. Military and police are about the only people who have these types of weapons. (not getting into class 3 licenses here)
Semi-automatic means that for each squeeze of the trigger on bullet is fired.
The action to load the next round and recock the weapon is the same, full auto is just much faster.
To answer you question: Yes, you can stop after 29 and replace the clip and keep going. Easy to count on a semi-auto, hard to count on a full auto.
As a side note, most weapons will keep the bold open after the last round has been fired. Drop the old clip, insert a new clip and close the bolt, it's already cocked and ready to go.
