Maine Firearm Hunter Safety Course Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

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

Barrel

Action

The action of a firearm is responsible for loading, firing, and ejecting shells or cartridges. The barrel is simply the long, metal tube where the bullet travels through. The stock is the handle or grip of the firearm and does not directly affect loading, firing, or ejecting. The trigger is responsible for activating the firing mechanism, but it does not actually perform the actions of loading, firing, or ejecting. Therefore, option B, the action, is the correct answer.
