United States President Barack Obama firing a Browning Citori 525 on the range at Camp David. [4] The side jet of smoke is from the ported barrel.. Browning Citoris come in all of the popular shotgun shell gauges, and are made in an over-under "stacked" barrel configuration, with forends and buttstocks made from high quality walnut wood.
A firing pin or striker is a part of the firing mechanism of a firearm that impacts the primer in the base of a cartridge and causes it to fire. In firearms terminology, a striker is a particular type of firing pin where a compressed spring acts directly on the firing pin to provide the impact force rather than it being struck by a hammer.
The Browning Cynergy is a range of over-and-under (double-barrel shotgun with their barrels attached vertically), double-barreled shotguns introduced in 2004 by Browning Arms Company. [2] It is considered to be a major departure from the traditional design of over and under shotguns, [ citation needed ] which date back to the early 20th century.

A firing pin block is a mechanical block used in semi-automatic firearms and some revolvers that, when at rest, obstructs forward travel of the firing pin, but is linked to the trigger mechanism and clears the obstruction to the pin just before the hammer or striker is released. This prevents the firing pin from striking a chambered cartridge ...
A linear hammer is similar to but differs from a striker in that the hammer is a separate component from the firing pin. [10] When released, a linear hammer, under spring pressure, slides along the bore axis rather than pivoting around a pin placed perpendicular to the bore, as with the more common rotating hammer.
John Moses Browning (January 23, 1855 [1] – November 26, 1926) was an American firearm designer who developed many varieties of military and civilian firearms, cartridges, and gun mechanisms, many of which are still in use around the world. [2]
