18. 1. cartridge is inserted into chamber
2. action closes and firing pin is pushed back and held under spring tension
3. trigger is squeezed releasing firing pin which strikes primer causing it to
explode
4. spark from primer will ignite gunpowder
5. expanding gas forces bullet out of cartridge and down barrel
6. rifling within the barrel causes the bullet to spin increasing speed.: how a
handgun/rifle fire
19. double action: pulling the trigger does everything
20. single action: pull the hammer back then pull the trigger
21. bolt action: operated like an open and closing door. bolt solidly locks into breech, making it accurate and
dependable.
22. lever action: has a large metal lever located behind the trigger. this handle usually forms the trigger guard
as well.
23. safeties: mechanical devices subject to mechanical failure from wear and other factors, and they can fail when
least expected.
24. telescopic sight: a scope that gathers light, brightening the image and magnifying the target, and does
away with alighing rear and front sights.
25. rifle barrel: long and thick walls with spiraling grooves cut into the bore
26. shotgun barrel: long and made of fairly thin steel that is very smooth on the inside to allow the sot and wad
to glide down the barrel without friction.
27. handgun barrel: short because it is meant to be shot with two hands. have grooved pattern.
28. rifling: shot guns do not have
29. the barrel gets smaller: as you go up in gauge
30. shotguns have a choke that will affect the shot pattern: to control the shot string...
31. cylinder choke: unreconstricted barrel, shot string spreads quickly
32. improved cylinder choke: slightly constricted, shot string spreads fairly quickly
33. modified choke: moderate constriction, shot string denser and more usefull at longer ranges
34. full choke: tight constriction, string holds together even longer
35. maximum projectile range: tells you what distance your firearm's projectile could cause injury or
damage to persons, animals, or objects
36. hangfire: when the firing pin has struck the primer and there is a delay before it fires
