19 Other Firearms Definitions You Need To KnowTrigger ScaleA specialized type of hanging scale designed to test trigger pull weight. Trigger Pull WeightThe ammount pressure needed (measured in pounds) for the trigger finger must put on the trigger before the gun will fire. Trigger pull weight is measured by the number of pounds and ounces of pressure required to pull the trigger past the break. StockThe back part of a rifle or shotgun, excluding the receiver. Lock SpeedThe same as Lock Time Turn-Bolt ActionA bolt action which is locked by pressing the bolt handle in and down, thereby turning its locking lugs into the receiver. Dummy RoundAn inert ammunition-shaped object, used in practice to simulate misfeeds and other malfunctions and also used in dry fire practice. Unlike a blank, a dummy round contains no charge at all. A snap-cap is a type of dummy round. Open SightsA common type of iron sights in which the rear sight is an open-topped U or a V or a square-notch shape and with a blade type front sight, in contrast to the closed circle commonly found in aperture sights. BermOn an outdoor shooting range, a large pile of dirt that functions as a backstop. Quad BarrelledA gun, typically artillery, with four barrels, such as the ZPU Short-StrokingOn a pump-action firearm, being too gentle with the fore-end and either not pulling it all the way back at the beginning of the stroke, or not shoving it all the way forward at the end of the stroke. Which may result in the old case or shell failing to eject and a misfeeds, or the gun will not fire when the trigger is pulled. The term is used most often to refer to pump-action shotguns, but it is possible to similarly short-stroke any type of firearm which requires the user to manually cycle the action (lever action rifles, for example). ChargerA device typically made from stamped metal which holds a group of cartridges for easy and virtually simultaneous loading into the fixed magazine of a firearm. Magazine LoaderA mechanical device to make it easier to fill magazines using less hand strength and without hurting one's fingertips or thumbs. Hot RangeA condition (status) of a shooting range that shooters may commence to fire. MisfireThe condition of a cartridge not firing when an attempt to fire it is made. It can be caused by either a defective cartridge or a defective firearm. The term is frequently misused to indicate a Negligent Discharge of a firearm. CheckeringA regular pattern of fine grooves cut into the surface of a stock to aid in gripping a gun. Originally done for utility only, checkering has become an art form in itself; craftsmen adorning the borders with ribbons, fleur-de-lys, floral carving, etc. The amount of coverage, the precise regularity, and the number of lines per inch indicate the quality of the work. Too-fine checkering, however, defeats the purpose of the work altogether. Recoil LugA stout flange, invariably incorporated into the underside of the front receiver ring of a bolt action, and also frequently incorporated into the underside of the barrel of a heavily-recoiling rifle, which when properly bedded, transfers recoil to the stock. RiflingSpiral grooves formed into the bore of a gun barrel, which cause the bullet to spin upon firing, thus stabilizing it much like a thrown football. Rifling may be cut, swaged, or forged into the barrel. Submachine GunA machine gun that fires pistol caliber rounds such as .45 acp or 9mm Luger (Parabellum) Length Of PullThe distance from the front trigger of a shotgun to the centre of the butt. |
