Flake, spherical, tubular, and chordite. what are the two types of primers? boxer, and berdan. what are the four main components to every weapon? barrel, bolt mechanism, firing mechanism, and receiver. what are the four parts of the barrel? chamber, throat, bore, and muzzle. what are the three parts to a bolt mechanism? extractor, ejector, and locking device. what are the four types of locking devices? locking lug, locking block, locking cam, and inertia. what are the four parts of a firing mechanism? trigger, sear, hammer, and firing pin. what are the three types of firing pins? floating, inertia, and fixed. a fixed firing pin is also know as a "Striker". True or false True what are the two methods in which a small arm is loaded? manual, and self what are the two feeding types? magazine, and belt what are the two types of belts? disintegrating, and non-disintergrating. what are the five things that can effect accuracy? Barrel whip, free floating barrel, heavy barrel, bedded action, and ergonomics. what is ergonomics? the applied science intended to maximize productivity. what is the cycle of operations? firing, unlocking, extracting, ejecting, cocking, feeding, chambering, and locking. what are the four types of operations systems? manual, gas operations, recoil operations, and blowback operations. what are the three types of gas operations? direct gas, short-stroke piston, and long-stroke piston. True or false. A long stroke piston is directly attacked to the breech block throughout the automatic cycle. True Recoil operations rely upon the generation of a force sufficient to unlock and move the action assembly components to the rear. True or False True what is the force that is required for recoil operations called? recoil impulse. what are some examples of weapons systems that use a long recoil system? Styer IWS 2000, and Browning auto 5 shotgun what recoil operations system features a barrel locked to the breech mechanism? long recoil. what is a example of a short recoil system? M9 Beretta how is the short recoil operations system differ from the long recoil operations system? in the short recoil system the barrel and breech mechanism are only attached for a short distance. what are the three components that the inertia recoil operations system relys on? recoil of the weapon, as well as resistance and counter movement of the shooter. what is the most notable example of a inertia operating system? Benelli Shotguns what are the three types of blowback operations systems? Blowback, delayed blowback, and blowback with advance primer ignition. in what is blowback operations system will the cartridge be fired while moving forward? blowback with advance primer ignition. who invented the Glock 17?
