Examples are the Glaser Safety Slug and the breaching round. MuzzleThe open end of the barrel from which the projectile exits. PortingOpenings at the muzzle end of the gun through which some of the spent gases can escape. Porting reduces perceived recoil and lessens muzzle rise but increases the noise and flash.

While commendable for locking the firing pin instead of just the trigger, its up-and-over arc of operation requires a scope to be mounted awkwardly high. Paul Mauser is not to be blamed; when his safety was developed, telescopic sights were in such infancy as not to be worthy of mainstream consideration. Down RangeThe area of a gun range where firearms are pointed when they are fired. The area of the range forward of the firing line. Long RecoilA semi-automatic pistol in which the barrel and breechblock are locked together for the full distance of rearward recoil travel, after which the barrel returns forward, while the breechblock is held back.
