Sorry- there are dozens of terms used in rifle shooting. Can you be a bit more specific?
No.
M40 106mm recoilless rifle.
Most likely you are using lightweight pellets, or you are not holding the rifle properly.
You would likely be holding a dictionary or a glossary to look up the unfamiliar terms and understand their meanings in the context of the book.
A Blastech D-11 blaster rifle
The position of salute with a rifle is holding in front of you completely vertical. One hand is on the narrow part of the stock, the other is on the barrel near the sight. The trigger is away from the body, indicating that it is not going to be used. Elbows are in tight to the body.
For holding rope it is called a cleat
"no has to be center fire" That is the wrong answer, YES, is the correct answer. Vermont makes no restrictions on what can be used to hunt in Vermont State other than no fully automatic weapons ( machine guns), and no semi-auto rifle capable of holding more than 6 rounds unless it is a 22 caliber weapon using rimfire ammo. Anywhere a rifle can be used a handgun can also be used. Muzzleloaders can be used anywhere a modern firearm can be used. laser sights are illegal.
The British made 'Baker Rifle' was the first widely used Infantry rifle in the early 1800's
There is no legal definition of "assault rifle". If you mean an AR15 style rifle, then it depends on the rifle, and what you are hunting. An AR15 firing .223/ 5.56mm can be used for small game. For big game, the rifle may not be capable of holding more than 6 rds of ammo, and must be .24 caliber or larger, with 1000 ft lbs of energy at 100 yards. The AR15 in .223 will not meet those standards. A larger AR, such as the AR10, could meet them. No fully automatic firearms may be used for hunting.
Not sure I understand your question- but the M16 rifle used by the US Army is fed by an external magazine, nomally holding either 20 or 30 cartridges.
