  2. Forensic firearm examination - Wikipedia

    After test firing the guns, Goddard proved that the weapons were those used to kill the members of the North Side Gang, absolving the Chicago police department of all involvement. [12] The successful use of Goddard's technique resulted in the solidification of his place as the father of forensic firearm examination.

  3. Extractor (firearms) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extractor_(firearms)

    The extractor moves with the bolt to pull the cartridge case rearwards out of the chamber, and at some point, the ejector eccentrically exerts a frontal push (from the case's frame of reference), which torques and "flicks" the case out of a side opening on the receiver known as the ejector port. Another example of extractor exists in the form ...

  4. Gas-operated reloading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas-operated_reloading

    Direct impingement operation increases the amount of heat that is deposited in the receiver while firing, which can burn off and cover up lubricants. The bolt, extractor, ejector, pins, and springs are also heated by the same high-temperature gas. These combined factors reduce service life of these parts, reliability, and mean time between ...

  5. Vacuum ejector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_Ejector

    In an ejector, a working fluid (liquid or gaseous) flows through a jet nozzle into a tube that first narrows and then expands in cross-sectional area. The fluid leaving the jet is flowing at a high velocity which due to Bernoulli's principle results in it having low pressure, thus generating a vacuum. The outer tube then narrows into a mixing ...

  6. Venturi scrubber - Wikipedia

    Therefore, an increase in pressure drop also increases particle collection efficiency. Ejector venturis operate at higher L/G ratios than most other particulate scrubbers (i.e., 7 to 13 L/m 3 compared to 0.4-2.7 L/m 3 for most other designs), and often also require higher liquid pressures, especially if being used to drive the process gas.

    The metal shroud underneath the barrel of a revolver that surrounds and protects the extractor rod. The two types of underlugs include half-lug, meaning the shroud does not run the entire length of the barrel but instead is only as long as the extractor rod, and full-lug, meaning the shroud runs the full length of the barrel.

    The differences between the two are the bullet shape, the types of powder used, and that the case of the 12.7×108mm is 9 mm longer and marginally more powerful. 14.5×114mm : The 14.5×114 mm is a heavy machine gun and anti-materiel rifle round used by the Soviet Union, the former Warsaw Pact, modern Russia, and other countries.

    Based on the results of these tests the shortcomings of plated bores and gun tubes were found to outweigh any advantage they might offer and the program dropped by May 1976. [18] In January 1978, a program was initiated [19] to develop an enhanced version of the 105mm gun, the M68A1 as a possible alternate weapon for the M1 Abrams.
