English: diagram of the mechanism of a gun representing the trigger, the tumbler, the firing pin and the cap Français : schéma du mécanisme d'un fusil représentant la détente, la gâchette, le chien et l'amorce
*Gun schematics, also referred to as firearm schematics, are technical diagrams that display a firearm's internal workings and parts. These schematics usually feature detailed illustrations of significant components like the barrel, receiver, trigger assembly, and magazine.
Defense Distributed is an online, open-source hardware and software organization that develops digital schematics of firearms in CAD files, or "wiki weapons", that may be downloaded from the Internet and used in 3D printing or CNC milling applications. [2]
Block diagram of inertia operation cycle, see diagram key above. As the recoil spring returns to its uncompressed state, it pushes the bolt body backward with sufficient force to cycle the action. The bolt body unlocks and retracts the bolt head, extracts and ejects the cartridge, cocks the hammer, and compresses the return spring.
A schematic of the lever-delayed blowback mechanism used in the FAMAS assault rifle. 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 ...
An M40 recoilless rifle on its M79 "wheelbarrow" tripod Diagram of the operation of a recoilless rifle using a vented case. A recoilless rifle (), recoilless launcher (), or simply recoilless gun, sometimes abbreviated to "RR" or "RCL" (for ReCoilLess) [1] is a type of lightweight artillery system or man-portable launcher that is designed to eject some form of countermass such as propellant ...
A zip gun constructed from a toy cap gun. The gun is capable of shooting a .22 caliber round. More advanced improvised guns can use parts from other gun-like products. One example is the cap gun. A cap gun can be disassembled, and a barrel added, turning the toy gun into a real one.
Firearms use triggers to initiate the firing of a cartridge seated within the gun barrel chamber.This is accomplished by actuating a striking device through a combination of mainspring (which stores elastic energy), a trap mechanism that can hold the spring under tension, an intermediate mechanism to transmit the kinetic energy from the spring releasing, and a firing pin to eventually strike ...
