  2. Extractor (firearms) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extractor_(firearms)

    Not all single-shot firearms have extractors, though many do. Break-action shotguns, double rifles, and combination guns typically have an extractor that pushes out the casings when the action is flexed open. Most modern extractors are forceful enough to completely eject the casing from the gun (i.e. integrating the function of an ejector), but ...

  3. Primary extraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_extraction

    In breechloading firearms, primary extraction is the initial phase (the first few millimeters) of the extraction of a spent casing from the firearm chamber. [1] After the primary extraction comes the secondary extraction where the bolt is moved further backwards, [2] and the extraction is then normally finished with the spent cartridge being ...

  4. Action (firearms) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_(firearms)

    When rotated open, a slot in the drum is exposed for extraction and feeding of a new round. Though first used on the Werndl-Holub, this action is commonly known as a cannon breech due to its association with the French 75mm Model of 1897 cannon. The French M1897 was, itself, based on William Hubbell's U.S. patent 149,478.

  5. Gas-operated reloading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas-operated_reloading

    This system is used in weapons such as the Bren light machine gun, AK-47, Tavor, FN Minimi, FN MAG, FN FNC, and M1 Garand. The primary advantage of the long-stroke system is that the mass of the piston rod adds to the momentum of the bolt carrier enabling more positive extraction, ejection, chambering, and locking.

  6. Rim (firearms) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rim_(firearms)

    If the chamber is cut shallow, so the case headspaces off the mouth, the rim is used for extraction only; a standard chamber will use the rim for both headspacing and extraction. [5] Examples of semi-rimmed handgun cartridges are .25 ACP, .32 ACP, 8×22mm Nambu, .38 ACP, .38 Super, and 9mm Browning Long.

    [39] [40] Other firearms that used this system were the LWS Seecamp pistol, the AMT Automag II, and the Kimball .30 Carbine pistol. [41] [42] [43] The SIG SG 510 rifle family incorporates a chamber ring near the shoulder which is used to avoid bolt-bounce rather than a delay element. [44] Similar operations exist using a fluted chamber for delay.

  9. List of straight-pull rifles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_straight-pull_rifles

    Straight-pull rifles differ from conventional bolt action mechanisms in that the manipulation required from the user in order to chamber and extract a cartridge predominantly consists of a linear motion only, as opposed to a traditional turn-bolt action where the user has to manually rotate the bolt for chambering and primary extraction.
