Q

What are the 8 different Operating Systems?

A 
Bolt Action
Blowback
Delayed Blowback
Recoil
Recoil w/ Gas Assist
Gas Operation (Gas Blast, Gas Tappet, Gas Direct)
Manual Pump
Revolving Cylinder
18
Q

The following describes which operating system?

‘the operator manually retracts the bolt to eject the spent cartridge and to chamber a new round by pushing the bolt forward’

A

Bolt Action

19
Q

The following describes which operating system?

‘works by pressure from the fired cartridge. These weapons have no locking system, which means pressure from exploding rounds blows the cartridge case backward, forcing the bolt to the rear and cartridge out of the weapon. A new round is chambered when the bolt moves forward’

A

Blowback

20
Q

The following describes which operating system?

‘these weapons have a locking system, which means there is a delay long enough for the round and excess gas to leave the muzzle before the bolt is fully unlocked’

A

Delayed Blowback

21
Q

The following describes which operating system?

‘works by pressure from fired round. The breech is locked so that when the round is fired, the barrel moves to the rear with the breechblock or bolt in place. The breechblock remains to the rear while the barrel is forced forward by the spring. After the barrel is fully forward the breechblock is released, moving forward to chamber another round’

A

Recoil

22
Q

The following describes which operating system?

‘operates with a recoil booster attached to the muzzle end of the weapon to trap gas, which aids in moving the barrel to the rear’

A

Recoil w/ Gas Assist

23
Q

The following describes which operating system?

‘gas pressure within the barrel is tapped by a gas port inside the barrel, using the energy to force the operating parts to the rear.’

A

Gas Operation

24
Q

The following describes which operating system?

‘gas goes down the gas port into the gas cylinder and makes contact with the gas piston directly attached to the operating rod or slide’

A

Gas Blast

25
Q

The following describes which operating system?

‘gas goes down the gas cylinder and makes contact with the gas piston which makes contact with the operating rod or slide. The gas piston and operating rod or slide are separate components’

A

Gas Tappet

26
Q

The following describes which operating system?

‘gas goes out of the gas port into the gas tube and is carried directly to the bolt or bolt carrier’

A

Gas Direct

27
Q

The following describes which operating system?

‘operator is required to pull the slide to the rear, extracting the fired round, and to push the slide forward chambering a new one’

A

Manual Pump

28
Q

The following describes which operating system?

‘each round is fired when the trigger is pulled. The cylinder rotates aligning on the next chamber with the barrel so that the next round can be fired’

A

Revolving Cylinder

29
Q

What are the 3 variations of ballistics?

A

Internal
External
Terminal

30
Q

List the types of firing…

A 
Single Action
