Which part of the firearm loads, fires, and ejects the shells or cartridges?

  1. Barrel

  2. Action

  3. Stock

  4. Trigger

The correct answer is: Action

The correct answer is B: Action. The action of a firearm is the mechanism responsible for loading, firing, and ejecting the shells or cartridges. It is a crucial component that facilitates the entire firing process by cycling the ammunition and allowing the firearm to function properly. In contrast, the barrel is responsible for guiding and accelerating the projectile, the stock provides a gripping surface and support for the shooter, and the trigger initiates the firing sequence. However, it is the action that plays the central role in the functioning of the firearm.
