  2. Blowback (firearms) - Wikipedia

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

    Blowback is a system of operation for self-loading firearms that obtains energy from the motion of the cartridge case as it is pushed to the rear by expanding gas created by the ignition of the propellant charge. [1] Several blowback systems exist within this broad principle of operation, each distinguished by the methods used to control bolt ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oerlikon_SSG36

    The Oerlikon SSG36 anti-tank rifle demonstrated, that it was possible to build a successful straight blowback rifle up to 20 mm caliber shooting at 750 m/s (2,500 ft/s) velocity. The SSG36 used a Becker principle of bolt head following the rebated rim cartridge base deep into the chamber. After firing, the case and the bolt could safely back ...

  6. Physics of firearms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics_of_firearms

    Higher efficiency can be achieved in longer barrel firearms because they have better volume ratio. However, the efficiency gain is less than corresponding to the volume ratio, because the expansion is not truly adiabatic and burnt gas becomes cold faster because of exchange of heat with the barrel. Large firearms (such as cannons) achieve ...

  7. vz. 50 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vz._50

    The pistol functions via the blowback principle - gas pressure from burning powder simultaneously forces the cartridge case and slide backward and forces the bullet forward in the barrel. After it reaches the end of its rearward travel, the recoil spring returns the slide to its forward position, stripping and chambering a new round from the ...

  8. Action (firearms) - Wikipedia

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

    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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OTs-21_Malysh

    The Malysh operates on the simple blowback principle; it is a double action only design with the ammunition capacity limited to five 9×18mm Makarov rounds (can use only 57-N-181S cartridges) in a box magazine with a base extension for more comfortable holding and firing. It features an internal hammer and there are no protrusions to hinder ...
