Assault rifle' is a political term regarding cosmetic appearances rather than an objective definition of firearms class. Actual assault rifles are fully automatic weapons as opposed to semi-automatics that can fire one shot per trigger pull. The firing mechanism in principal is identical to most weapons between a trigger engaging a sear which releases the firing pin under tension, which in-turn strikes the primer of a cartridge,

What can you do to conserve energy?
You can perform reversible Work: stretching a spring - you can look at some old watches and see the mechanism. you can put electric current into a Capacitor.
What important element of evidence or observation did Darwin's theory of evolution lack?
A mechanism of heredity. Darwin's concept, panspermia, was based on a blending of factors he called gremules that originated with either sex and were in the blood. This was shown to be completely wrong by Mendel's work on particulate inheritance.
What is meant by this statement Natural selection is an editing mechanism rather than a creative process?
Possible nothing. Natural selection produces combinatorial genes that work in amazing ways incrementally. The vertebrate eye, for instance. Naturally, those organisms that do not reproduce successfully are ' edited ', but selection works on the molecular level to make organisms not only fit, but fit enough.
What is practical work?
its working well in a practise enviroment
How is scientific work different from daily work?
scientific work is F*D=W F=force D=distance W=work
How does an assault rifle work?
To be able to fire repetitious rounds most military standard assault rifles, such as the AK47/74, M16 and M4 Carbine, work on gas power which is recycled energy from a spent round. I will do my best to explain the mechanics of this. Anyone with the slightest interest in weaponry knows the standard firing pin mechanism. This firing pin is still in all assault rifles and has been for hundreds of years. When you pick up an assault rifle you load a clip (magazine) and cock the weapon as you would do with any rifle. When the weapon is cocked a spring mechanism inside the clip chambers a round and the firing pin is pulled back, providing the safety is off you are ready to fire your first round. I will now try and explain how the gas mechanism works. The gas piston tube is best exampled on the AK-47 as it is easily identifiable as the last 2 inches of it is exposed above the rifle barrel, where on the M16 and M4 Carbine the gas tube is covered. When the round is fired the gas (recycled energy) is picked up by a port on the weapon which drives a piston that travels back down the rifle. This recycled energy/piston repeats the manual task you just did to cock the weapon prior to firing. It drives the bolt back, forces the spent round out of the chamber, re-cocks the firing pin and the spring mechanism in the clip chambers a new round then the bolt closes, via another spring mechanism, then the next round is ready to fire. Needless to say all this happens a blink of an eye and if you have the weapon switched to full auto mode you will empty a clip of 25/30 rounds in a matter of seconds. A "true" assault rifle has the ability to fire on fully automatic mode. They are normally is fitted with high capacity magazines (30 ~ 1000 rounds) because they use ammunition at a high rate. Other than the fully automatic feature, the mechanical operation is exactly like any simi automatic rifle. What is considered an "assault rifle" changes over time. In the late 1800s, a lever action Winchester would have been considered an assault rifle when compared to a single shot muzzle loader.
What are the three main parts of a rifle and how do they work?
Lock, stock and barrel. Lock holds the firing mechanism, stock gives you something to hold onto, barrel spins the projectile.
How does the trigger mechanism of a bolt-action rifle work?
They all vary to some degree, but in general, when the bolt is operated, the firing pin is caught and held behind a sear, and the firing pin spring is compressed as the bolt closes. When the trigger is pulled, it causes the sear to be pulled down, releasing the firing pin, which is driven forward by the spring, striking the primer of the cartridge, firing it.
Does fmj work on the shotgun attachment for an assault rifle on mw2?
Well i don't think so as i think fmj will only work on the assualt rifle not the shotgun
How does the BOSS system work on the bar safari rifle?
Dampens vibration when firing.
What makes an automatic rifle work?
An auto loading rifle uses part of the energy from the cartridge firing. In some cases, it uses the recoil (push) to drive back a bolt held in place by springs. With others, a small amount of the hot gasses that push the bullet out of the barrel are used to push back part of the mechanism. Springs then push the mechanism forward, loading a fresh cartridge.
How many ft does an Airsoft AK-47 spring loaded Sniper Rifle shoot?
THAT DOESNT WORK BECUASE THEY ARE TWO DIFFRENT GUNS. AN AK47 IS AN ASSAULT RIFLE. A SNIPER IS A DIFFERENT KIND OF RIFLE.
Does the Nerf vulcan work without batteries?
It can, but you will need a alternate mechanism to run the automatic loading and firing of the darts that will run without power.
How do you fix the trigger on a 12-shot pump action air rifle and how does the mecanism work?
The pump is a pull-down located on the barrel, and the 12-shot loader is a cylinder integrated in the gun just past the trigger mechanism and before the barrel. I've tried dismantling it, but to no avail. the air cilinder (located on the barrel) does not seem to touch any of the springs associated with the firing/trigger mechanism. Blocked? or a missing part that fits into the air cylinder If someone can explain how the mechanism works i can see if everythings there. thank you.
How does the Gewehr 41M rifle work if it is semi-automatic and has a bolt handle?
Bolt handle was provided as a back up in case the semi auto mechanism did not function. Which it frequently did not.
How does a hamerless gun work?
"Hammerless" guns use a spring loaded striker to drive the firing pin into the cartridge primer. Same mechanism is used by most bolt action rifles and shotguns.
What is another sentence for mechanism?
The mechanism doesn't work properly.
