In firearms, a blowback system is generally defined as an operating system in which energy to operate the firearm's various mechanisms, and automate the loading of another cartridge, is derived from the inertia of the spent cartridge case being pushed out the rear of the chamber by rapidly expanding gases produced by a burning propellant, typically gunpowder. [3]
The recoil operation is a type of locked-breech action used in semi-automatic and fully automatic firearms. It also uses energy from the combustion in the chamber acting directly on the bolt through the cartridge head, but in this case the firearm has a reciprocating barrel and breech assembly, combined with a bolt that locks to the breech.
Schematic of an Advanced Primer Ignition blowback operation that works in a similar way to slamfire by striking the cartridge as its moving forward before it is fully chambered. A slamfire is a discharge of a firearm occurring as a cartridge is being loaded into the chamber .
The RAK is a selective-fire straight blowback–operated machine pistol, fired from the open bolt position. [4] Unlike most submachine guns firing from an open bolt, the PM-63 has a reciprocating external breech bolt, also known as a slide. The slide is part of the fire rate-reducing device.
Depending on the operating mechanism, there are a number of places that limp wristing can cause a failure to cycle. Recoil operated firearms are more susceptible to failure of this type than blowback and gas-operated firearms, and lightweight polymer framed handguns are more susceptible than heavy, steel-framed or even lighter metal alloy handguns.
The S&W Model 61 is a blowback-operated pistol chambered in .22 Long Rifle based upon the Bayard 1908 (Pieper Bayard) pistol. It was marketed for self-defense to fill a void in the pocket auto market after the banning of the importation of small, concealable handguns.

Blowback firearms sometimes lack an extractor as they really aren't necessary for this method of operation. Delayed blowback This action is found where recoil is light enough that a fully locked breech is not necessary. Like simple blowback, it is case movement that opens the breech. This is a more robust version of simple blowback.
