  2. Valve timing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_timing

    Valve timing diagram for a 4-stroke engine. With traditional fixed valve timing, an engine will have a period of "valve overlap" at the end of the exhaust stroke, when both the intake and exhaust valves are open. The intake valve is opened before the exhaust gases have completely left the cylinder, and their considerable velocity assists in ...

  3. Walther LGR - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walther_LGR

    The LGR shoots virtually recoilless and vibration free, since only a few small trigger parts, a light striker piece and lever that open a small air valve in a compression chamber and the 4.5 mm (0.177 in) air gun pellet move in the rifle during shooting. This minimal movement and balance shifts coupled to a fast lock time favour the practical ...

  4. Internal ballistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_ballistics

    Interior ballistics can be considered in three time periods: [4] Lock time - the time from sear release until the primer is struck; Ignition time - the time from when the primer is struck until the projectile starts to move; Barrel time - the time from when the projectile starts to move until it exits the barrel. Diagram of internal ballistic ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas-operated_reloading

    Diagram of long-stroke gas operation system Long stroke gas piston, from an AK-74. With a long-stroke system, the piston is mechanically fixed to the bolt group and moves through the entire operating cycle. 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.

  6. Blowback (firearms) - Wikipedia

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

    This rifle, submitted multiple times, competed unsuccessfully against the Pedersen rifle and Garand primer-actuated rifle in early testing to replace the M1903 Springfield rifle. [58] This operation is one of the most simple forms of delayed blowback but unless the ammunition is lubricated or uses a fluted chamber, the recoil can be volatile ...

  7. Accurizing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accurizing

    To put lock time and bullet dwell time in perspective; the lock time of most conventional bolt action rifles varies between 2.6 and 9.0 milliseconds, while after cartridge ignition most rifle bullets travel through a high powered rifle barrel bore in 1.0 to 1.5 milliseconds. Mechanical bolt-action rifle trigger systems with a sub 2.0 ...

  9. Action (firearms) - Wikipedia

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

    A break action is a type of firearm where the barrel(s) are hinged and can be "broken open" to expose the breech. Multi-barrel break action firearms are usually subdivided into over-and-under or side-by-side configurations for two barrel configurations or "combination gun" when mixed rifle and shotgun barrels are used.
