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

Barrel
Action
Stock
Trigger

The correct answer is: Action

The correct answer is "Action." The action of a firearm is the mechanism that loads ammunition into the chamber, fires the cartridge, and ejects the empty shell casing. It is a crucial component responsible for the cycling of ammunition during the firing process. In comparison, the other options are not directly involved in the process of loading, firing, and ejecting shells or cartridges. - The barrel is the part of the firearm through which the projectile travels. - The stock is the rear part of the firearm, which is held against the shooter's shoulder for support. - The trigger is the mechanism used to initiate the firing sequence by releasing the striker or hammer.
