Which part of a firearm has the purpose of expelling the projectile?

  1. Trigger

  2. Barrel

  3. Stock

  4. Safety

The correct answer is: Barrel

The correct answer is the barrel. The barrel is the part of the firearm that has the primary purpose of expelling the projectile, which is the bullet or shot. When the firearm is discharged, the projectile travels through the barrel and is propelled out of the muzzle towards the target. The trigger is responsible for initiating the firing sequence, the stock provides a support structure for aiming and holding the firearm, and the safety is a mechanism designed to prevent accidental discharge of the firearm.
