When a VFG is attached to a pistol, it no longer meets the criteria to be classified as such under the BATFE definition. However, when attached to a rifle, it does not alter the general characteristics of the rifle to make it fall outside of the BATFE's definition of a rifle.

Can ar-15 foregrips fit ruger sr-22 rifles?

Trying to figure out what you mean by foregrip.. if you're referring to the forward heat shield, it could be done, but you'd have to replace the factory heat shield with a free floating one.. IMO, better to just buy the optional Picatinny rails through Ruger and add them. If you mean a Vertical Fore Grip, of the sort designed to be fitted onto MIL-STD-1913 (i.e., Picatinny) rails, then yes, but again, you'll have to get the optional rails from Ruger. If you've misused the term foregrip, and are actually referring to the pistol grip behind the trigger, then the answer is yes.

Does a glock have safety?

Yes and no. The Glock does not have an external safety that is operated by the shooter. The safety mechanisms are controlled by the trigger, and function when the trigger is pulled. If the trigger is NOT pulled, the safety mechanisms prevent the firing pin from moving forward and striking the cartridge. However, if a Glock has a cartridge chambered, AND you pull the trigger, the gun WILL fire.


What does a disconnector do when a 1991 type pistol is fired?

It disconnects the trigger from the sear. Visualize the pistol firing- you pull the trigger, sear moves, allowing hammer to fall, gun fires, slide recoils, ejects empty, slides forward, chambering fresh round- but you still have the trigger pulled. Without the disconnector, the hammer would have followed the slide forward, either being out of cocked position for the next shot, or causing full auto fire. However, the disconnector acts faster than your reflexes, and unhooks the trigger from the sear, until you release the trigger, and pull it again.


What mechanism takes place when you press trigger of a gun in gun?

When you pull the trigger the hammer (which was cocked back before) is released and it hits the primer on the cartridge which sets off the powder in the cartridge, and the bullet is propelled forward.
