Possibly the Mondragon rifle from the late 1800's, issued to the Mexican Army.
No. The first gas-operated rifle to be adopted by a military was the Mondragon rifle used by the Mexican army.
Unsure of what you mean by a gas ring- that usually describes a ring used in a gas operated automatic firearm- and the 686 is a revolver. Can you repost expanding on your question?- or contact me directly though my message board.
Recoil operated uses recoil from firing to cycle the action. Gas operated uses gas from firing to cycle the action.
All of their semi-auto shotguns are gas operated, yes/ All of their semi-auto shotguns are gas operated, yes/ All of their semi-auto shotguns are gas operated, yes/ Not true. The Remington 11, 11-48, & 48 are all blow back operated. The 58, 878, 1100, and 11-87 are gas operated. All of there current models are.
Your Winchester model 1400 semi auto shotgun is gas operated.
It is gas operated, if that is what you are asking.
My understanding is that the first true gas operated automatic shotgun was sold by Sears & Roebuck in 1955 as the J.C. Higgins Model 60 and was manufactured by High Standard.
No. .22 rimfire guns do not produce sufficient gas for that. They are "blow back" operated.
"BLR" = Browning Lever Rifle It is lever operated
When properly maintained and operated, they are as safe as any shotgun. They have a good reputation as a reliable firearm.

Machine guns are operated using a mechanism that cycles through the firing process automatically, typically through gas-operated or recoil-operated systems. In gas-operated machines, gas from the fired cartridge is redirected to cycle the action, eject the spent cartridge, and chamber a new round. Recoil-operated machines use the energy from the recoil of the fired round to perform the same functions. Both types can fire continuously as long as the trigger is held down and ammunition is available.
