Lock and Load for the 2026 New York Firearms Safety Test – Shoot for Success!

Question: 1 / 400

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

The action

The action is where the loading, firing, and ejection of shells or cartridges occurs. The barrel is responsible for guiding the bullet and containing the explosion of the cartridge. The trigger is responsible for initiating the firing process by releasing the hammer or striker. And the muzzle is the opening at the end of the barrel, where the bullet exits the firearm. While all of these parts play important roles in the functioning of a firearm, the action is specifically responsible for the three processes mentioned in the question.
