how do real firearms fire like they do???????

Question

i no airsoft guns are spring or electric but how do for intense like m16, ak-47,mp5,pistols(desert eagles,m9 ext.)uzi ext. i was always wondering

Answer 1

Gnomes. You squeeze the trigger which lets the hammer fall. The hammer whacks the gnome. This pisses off the gnome who throws gnome dust at the chunk o' lead sitting there next to him. Gnome dust repels lead, which makes the lead fly down the barrel.



OR you could do a little research and find the correct answer very quickly.

Answer 2

ar 15 (thats the m16 to you): the hammer strikes the firing pin, which strikes the primer at the back of the cartridge. the primer ignites the powder charge which causes an explosion of hot gases to propel the bullet down the barrel.



the AR uses a direct impingment (DI) system, gas is siphoned off through the front sight base (that little triangle looking thing at the front that has the sights in it) as the bullet passes the gas port. the gas is tapped from the port to the gas tube, which runs the top length of the handguard into the upper reciever where it meets the bolt carrier (BC) key. the gases are funneled into the BC, pushing the BC backwards towards the buttstock. as this happens, the bolt cam pin causes the bolt to rotate, unlocking itself from the barrel and the bolt continues moving to the rear with the BC.



this motion extracts the shell from the chamber and the bolt's extractor ejects it from the side of the upper reciever. the buffer spring inside the buffer tube that is in the buttstock then pushes the BC forward, stripping a new round off the magazine and feeding it into the chamber as it passes. finally the bolt cam pin twistes into a pocket milled into the upper reciever that allows the bolts locking lugs to rotate and lock into the barrel.





AK47: the hammer strikes the firing pin, which strikes the primer at the back of the cartridge. the primer ignites the powder charge which causes an explosion of hot gases to propel the bullet down the barrel.



the AK uses a long stroke gas system. gas is tapped off through the gas port ( the tube above the barrel) and into the gas tube where it meets the gas piston that is attached to the BC. the piston moves backwards with the BC, causing the bolt to unlock and move backwards also. the shell is removed from the chamber and the bolt's extractor ejects the spent shell out the side of the reciever.

the recoil spring then pushes the BC forward, stripping a new round from the magazine, the feedramp feeds it into the chamber, and the bolt locks into place.

Answer 3

They use "gun powder" - an explosive powder packed into the cartridge.



A Cartridge, also called a round, packages the bullet, gunpowder and primer into a single metallic case precisely made to fit the firing chamber of a firearm. The primer is a small charge of impact-sensitive chemical that may be located at the center of the case head (centerfire ammunition) or at its rim (rimfire ammunition). Electrically-fired cartridges have also been made. Caseless ammunition has been made as well. A cartridge without a bullet is called a blank; one that is completely inert is called a dummy.



The primer is ignited when struck, and this causes the gunpowder to explode, expelling the bullet from the cartridge at high speed.

Answer 4

in the metal casing there is a part called a primer, it is pretty much like a cap for a cap gun, there is a piece of metal that goes forward and hits it to set it off, from that exploding it sets the powder on fire which from the pressure of the expanding gasses from the powder burning pushes the bullet out of the barrel





i could go through and explain about the how the whole gun works but a video would probably be better:

these arent the only way the gun can load the next round, but it will show you how some do

Answer 5

The firing pin strikes the base or rim of the cartridge. This sets off a chain reaction igniting the propellant. A mini explosion launches the projectile down the barrel. With some skill you may even hit the intended target.



Or something like that.

Answer 6

well guns have a mechanizm called a hammer. when a bullet enters the chamber to be fired down the barrel. the hammer strikes the bullet. this causes the gunpowder in the bullet to combust. the expansion of gases from the combustion pushes the bullet down the barrel. the grooves in the barrel spin the bullet as it exits the barrel to increase accuracy. The newest gun the military has is the rail gun. YEs the have one now mounted on a unmanned tank that is in the prototype phase.

IT works by using magnets. turning some on down the barrel to attract the bullet and reversing polarity to push the bullet. It allows for higher velocities and less friction which means more bullets can fire before the thing over heats

Answer 7

first you pull the trigger, then the trigger releases the firing pin, the firing pin hits the primer, the primer ignites the powder propels the bullet out of the barrel, the action cycles and then you are ready to fire again, if you want specifics look on wikipedia or some other online encyclopedia, its actually very interesting

Answer 8

For Semi/Auto action, the cartridge generates an opposite force while expelling the bullet out the barrel. This force operates either by hot gas or by spring load the bolt which ejects the spent cartridge and cocks the bolt to fire another round.

Answer 9

Wait......



did you just use the word "intense" to describe the physical properties of a real firearm?





Oh boy.

Answer 10

Gun Powder and a big bang.....from a round or cartridge.

Answer 11

weapons have a thing called a hammer, the hammer hit the back of the shell which ignites whatever is inside the shell and send the projectile down the barrel.
