Yes. Blowback is simply the method of operation by which the firearm cycles and cambers the next round when it is fired.
Called the shield boss, or umbo, is a round, convex or conical piece of material at the centre of a shield used in battle
A .45 ACP round typically travels at around 800-900 feet per second (fps) when fired from a handgun. This can vary depending on the specific load and barrel length of the firearm used.
Yes, a 7.62 NATO round can typically be fired from a .308 Winchester rifle, as they are dimensionally similar and have the same bullet diameter. However, it's important to ensure that the rifle is designed to handle the slightly higher pressures of the 7.62 NATO round. Always consult the manufacturer’s specifications and guidelines before using different types of ammunition in a firearm.
Depends how you define "automatic" Gatling built a gun that automatically fired and reloaded repeatedly from a magazine with the turn of a crank.

A round of ammunition for ANY firearm is one cartridge.
If you push the slide away from you on a firearm, you are essentially chambering a new round from the magazine into the firing chamber. This action readies the firearm for firing by loading a new round.
Fired ammunition from a firearm reaches a much higher initial velocity due to explosive propellant forces. In contrast, ammunition dropped from a high altitude reaches a terminal velocity where gravity pulling down is balanced by air resistance pushing up. The fired bullet maintains its higher velocity until slowed by air resistance and gravity, while dropped ammunition reaches a constant speed due to these opposing forces.
