    What is the smallest type of firearms?  - ProProfs

    What is the smallest type of firearms? 

    • Air gun

    • Riffle 

    • Shot gun

    • Hand gun

    Correct Answer
    A. Hand gun
    Explanation
    A hand gun is the smallest type of firearms. It is a compact and portable firearm that is designed to be held and operated with one hand. Hand guns are typically used for self-defense and have a shorter barrel compared to other types of firearms like rifles or shotguns. They are commonly used by law enforcement officers and civilians for personal protection.

    In what type of firearms is gas pressurization mechanical?  - ProProfs

    In what type of firearms is gas pressurization mechanical? 

    • Shot guns 

    • Riffles

    • Air guns 

    • Toy gun 

    Correct Answer
    A. Air guns 
    Explanation
    Gas pressurization in air guns is mechanical because these firearms use a piston or spring mechanism to compress air within a chamber. When the trigger is pulled, the compressed air is released, propelling the projectile forward. This mechanical process differs from shotguns and rifles, which typically use chemical reactions (such as combustion or explosion) to generate the necessary force for projectile propulsion. Toy guns, on the other hand, often rely on mechanisms like springs or air pumps to create the illusion of firing without using any actual propellant.

    How can modern firearms be described?  - ProProfs

    How can modern firearms be described? 

    • By their cartridge 

    • By their length 

    • By their bullets 

    • By their caliber 

    Correct Answer
    A. By their caliber 
    Explanation
    Modern firearms can be described by their caliber, which refers to the internal diameter of the firearm's barrel. Caliber determines the size and type of ammunition that the firearm can use. It is an important characteristic as it affects the power, range, and accuracy of the firearm. Different calibers are used for different purposes, such as self-defense, hunting, or target shooting. By describing firearms by their caliber, it provides a standardized way to understand and compare different types of firearms.

    What skill do shooters need to hit a target?  - ProProfs

    What skill do shooters need to hit a target? 

    • Physical coordination 

    • Target coordination 

    • Motor coordination 

    • Eye-hand coordination 

    Correct Answer
    A. Eye-hand coordination 
    Explanation
    Shooters need eye-hand coordination in order to hit a target. Eye-hand coordination refers to the ability to synchronize visual information with motor movements. In shooting, this skill is crucial as it allows shooters to accurately aim their weapon and coordinate their hand movements to pull the trigger at the right moment. Without eye-hand coordination, shooters would struggle to align their sights with the target and consistently hit their mark.

    What is hit when a firearm is fired?  - ProProfs

    What is hit when a firearm is fired? 

    • Target 

    • Load 

    • Bullet 

    • Trigger 

    Correct Answer
    A. Target 
    Explanation
    When a firearm is fired, the hit is made on the target. The target is the object or area that the shooter aims at and intends to strike with the bullet. The bullet is the projectile that is propelled out of the firearm when it is fired. The load refers to the ammunition or cartridge that is loaded into the firearm. The trigger is the mechanism that is pulled to initiate the firing of the firearm.

    Which of these is not a part of a firearm?  - ProProfs

    Which of these is not a part of a firearm? 

    • Cartridge

    • Propellant 

    • Tunnel 

    • Trigger 

    Correct Answer
    A. Tunnel 
    Explanation
    A tunnel is not a part of a firearm. A firearm typically consists of a cartridge, which contains the bullet, propellant, and primer, as well as a trigger mechanism to initiate the firing process. However, a tunnel does not serve any functional purpose in a firearm and is not necessary for its operation.

    What kind of combustion occurs in a gun? - ProProfs

    What kind of combustion occurs in a gun?

    • Endothermic combustion 

    • Complete combustion 

    • Exothermic combustion 

    • Partial combustion 

    Correct Answer
    A. Exothermic combustion 
    Explanation
    Exothermic combustion occurs in a gun. Exothermic combustion is a type of combustion reaction that releases heat and light energy. In the case of a gun, when the gunpowder ignites, it undergoes exothermic combustion, resulting in the rapid release of gases and the generation of high pressure and temperature. This combustion process propels the bullet out of the gun barrel.
