Yes, pistols can eject spent cartridge cases when firing. This process occurs as part of the semi-automatic or automatic cycling of the firearm, where the energy from the fired round operates the action to extract and eject the empty casing. The design of the pistol, including its ejection port and extractor, plays a crucial role in ensuring reliable case ejection. Proper maintenance and functioning of these components are essential for the pistol's reliable operation.

What are all the different types of pistols?

Pistols can be categorized into several types, including semi-automatic, revolver, and single-shot pistols.

Other variations include single-action and double-action mechanisms, as well as specialty types like pocket pistols, target pistols, and tactical pistols. Additionally, there are variations based on caliber and intended use, such as sport shooting, self-defense, or military applications.

To cock an AK47 means to pull the handle back which sets the firing pin, so that when you pull the trigger the firing pin goes forward and detonates the primer thus firing a shot.

Does a 357 highwaypatrol has a firing pin or firing hammer?

I'd be able to give you a more certain answer if I knew the manufacturer, but if it's a modern centrefire pistol or revolver, it's almost certain to have a separate firing pin. The only firearms you really see anymore where the hammer contacts the primer directly is with antiquidated pistols, and rimfire guns.
