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

  1. Stock

  2. Barrel

  3. Action

  4. Trigger

The correct answer is: Action

The action is responsible for loading the ammunition into the chamber, firing the projectile, and ejecting the spent casing. The stock is used for holding and stabilizing the firearm while the barrel is the internal tube through which the bullet travels. The trigger, while an important component for firing the weapon, is not directly involved in the loading and ejection process.
