How much pressure is put on the trigger of a gun for it to fire?

This will vary from gun to gun. An M16 Military rifle has a trigger pull of about 5 pounds, it is a single stage trigger which mean steady pressure on the trigger will release the sear and fire the weapon. A two stage trigger requires the shooter to take up slack in the first stage of pulling the trigger and then apply slightly more pressure to the final process of releasing the sear. In the M14 rifle and M1 Garand the two stage trigger is still about 5 pounds. In hunting rifles most are single stage triggers ranging from 1 to 4 pounds. An Olympic Target rifle or pistol may have a trigger with a pull of just a few ounces, while a combat pistol may have a trigger pull of around 5 pounds.

Why should special care be given when using a double set trigger for hunting?
one trigger sets the gun to go off and the other fires it you must squeeze the first trigger then the second to fire the gun and if your not careful and pull the set trigger again instead of the second trigger the gun will not fire plus the second trigger being the fire trigger is usually a hair trigger meaning you barely have to pull it to make the gun fire

Most firearms have mechanical device built into the firing mechanism that inhibits the firearm from firing. This is called a "safety."The M16 series, for example, have a selector switch in which the shooter can select from:1- SAFE--gun will not fire if trigger is pulled2- SEMI--gun will fire one bullet when trigger is pulled3- AUTO--gun will fire several bullets when trigger is pulled, until out of ammo, or trigger is released4- THREE ROUND BURST--gun will fire 3 bullets with each pull of the trigger**The 3 round burst function uses a geared cog, and may fire only 1, or 2, or 3 bullets per squeeze of the trigger, depending on which cog tooth was engaged when burst was selected.
What is the action when referring to a handgun?
its usually a hammer action Actually, it means a couple of different things. The term action can refer to the internal parts that make the gun cycle, feed, and fire, or it can refer to how the handgun works. A double action gun is a gun that has two trigger modes. The trigger is long and heavy, then the gun stays cocked and the subsequent trigger pulls are short and light. A double action only gun is a gun that has a long heavy trigger every time. A single action gun is a gun that must be hammer cocked before it can fire. Whether it has a hammer or not is not directly related to what type of action it has.
