TASER ECDs (Electronic Control Devices) work by emitting an electric charge passing through penetrating prongs.

The PP-90M1 is considered to be a poorly designed weapon because its charging handle is located at the very front of the weapon, directly above the end of the barrel.

It also increases the risk of accidentally discharging the weapon while trying to charge it.

The H&K/CETME G-3 series uses a roller-delayed blowback system. This operating system utilizes rollers to delay the opening of the bolt during the firing process. As the bullet is fired, the pressure pushes the bolt rearward, and the rollers engage with the barrel extension, delaying the opening of the bolt until the pressure has decreased to a safe level. This design allows for reliable and accurate semi-automatic or fully automatic fire, making it a popular choice for firearms like the G-3 series.

The FN FAL was adopted by British and Canadian armed forces as the L1A1 and the C1A1, respectively.
