blow-forward action (self-loading, <operational attributes for firearms>, ... Attributes and Properties (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Describes automatic and semiautomatic firearms in which the pressure of the propellant gas is used to force the barrel forward from a standing breech to open the action and eject the fired case. A spring brings the barrel back to firing position and also reloads and cocks the firearm. |

Additional Notes: |
|
Dutch ..... Te gebruiken om automatische en semi-automatische vuurwapens te beschrijven waarbij de druk van het voortstuwingsmiddel wordt gebruikt om de loop naar voren te duwen vanaf een vast staartstuk, om het mechaniek te openen en om de lege huls uit te werpen. De loop wordt in zijn afvuurpositie teruggebracht door een veer, die het vuurwapen ook herlaadt en spant. |
Spanish ..... Úsese para describir armas de fuego automáticas y semiautomáticas en las cuales la presión del gas propulsor es usada para forzar el cañón hacia delante de una recámara estática para abrir la acción y eyectar el estuche disparado. Un resorte trae el cañón hacia atrás para posiciones de tiro y también carga el arma de fuego. |
