BB. SEMI - AUTOMATIC PISTOLS
CC. RAPID - FIRE PISTOLS
- Handguns of this type are operated by pressing a lever causing the barrel to be unlatched and tipped upward.
SINGLE - SHOT PISTOLS
-While the breech of the barrel is exposed, the cartridge is inserted to the chamber and locked.
-Its hammer is pulled back and cocked, ready to be fired.
SINGLE - SHOT PISTOLS
- When the trigger is pulled, the hammer goes through the firing cycle and fires the cartridge.
SEMI - AUTOMATIC PISTOLS
-The recoil of the slide moves forward again and reloads the chamber.
