Best Answer

By bolt action, recoil, pump-action or lever action.

A casing is hot after the bullet has been fired, so pulled back on a bolt will open the chamber and fling the casing out.

Fully automatic and semi-auto guns fire with recoil. The blast from firing a bullet launches the hammer back and allows the casing to come flying out a hole in the side of the gun.

Lever action works pretty much the same as bolt-action and was used before weapons could load in a new bullet. The lever would push out the old casing and put in a new bullet and casing in.

Pump action works just the same as lever action, but was used because you could keep your eye on the target while pumping, instead of having to aim, shoot, move the lever and reaim, you could just aim, shoot, pump, and shoot again without having to look around for your target.

What are metal bullet casings made of?

Many metals and alloys are used to manufacture bullets. The chief considerations are preservation of gun barrels, kinetic energy transfer (stopping power), penetration (a combination of hardness and weight) Some bullets are designed to penetrate others to shatter into flechettes. The steel or copper cladding is essential for this action. Common bullet metals are: * Copper casings with lead in the bullet itself * Various lead alloys without casings to improve ease of casting * Tungsten fo hardness and ecological sensitivity in military rounds * Bismuth for eco-sensitivity * Depleted Uranium for kinetic energy transfer * Iron or steel shot for shotgun pellets for eco-sensitivity
