Gas-operation is a system of operation used to provide energy to operate locked breech, autoloading firearms. In gas-operation, a portion of high-pressure gas from the cartridge being fired is used to power a mechanism to dispose of the spent case and insert a new cartridge into the chamber .
The blowback operation is a system in which semi-automatic and fully automatic firearms operate through the energy created by combustion in the chamber and bore acting directly on the bolt face through the cartridge. In blowback operation the bolt is not locked to the chamber, relying only on spring pressure and inertia from the weight of the ...
Blow forward (left) vs. blowback (right) operation. The Mannlicher M1894 pistol, the first blow-forward firearm.. Blow forward is a firearm action where the propellant gas pressure and the friction of the bullet traveling down the bore drag the whole gun barrel forward to facilitate the opening of the breech. [1]
Gas operated design Gas operation uses the pressure of the gas (created by the burning propellant) behind the projectile to unlock the bolt assembly and then move it rearward. Blowback operation uses the backward force applied by the projectile (due to Newton's Third Law of Motion) to retract the bolt assembly.
The blowback principle may be considered a simplified form of gas operation, since the cartridge case behaves like a piston driven by the powder gases. [1] Other operating principles for self-loading firearms include delayed blowback, blow forward, gas operation, and recoil operation.
