Action // Mecanismo o acción
➢Single action (acción simple o tiro a tiro)
➢An action requiring the manual cocking of the hammer.
➢Double action (doble acción o repetición)
➢A mechanism in which a single pull of the trigger first cocks and then releases the
hammer.
➢ Semiautomatic (semiautomática)
➢Each pull of the trigger results in a complete firing cycle from discharge through
reloading.
➢Automatic (automática)
➢Firearm design that continuously feeds cartridges, fires and ejects cartridge cases as
long as the trigger is fully depressed and there are cartridges in the feed system.

Handguns: firearms designed to be held and fired with one hand.
Long guns: firearms designed to be used while held with both hands and supported by the shoulder.

Handguns
➢Revolver: a revolver is a firearm that has a cylinder (tambor, cilindro) with a
number of chambers (recámaras). These chambers are designed to be manually
loaded with cartridges (cartuchos) of the appropriate caliber and then, as the
cylinder rotates into position under the hammer (martillo, percutor), the trigger
(gatillo) can be pulled, releasing the hammer and causing the cartridge to be
fired.

Pistols
Designed for a more automatic operation. Cartridges are loaded into an
ammunition magazine (peine, cargador) which is inserted into the firearm. As long
as cartridges are present in the ammunition magazine and the firearm is
functioning properly, the action of the firearm is responsible for the feeding and
chambering of the cartridge and the extraction and ejection of the cartridge case
once the cartridge is fired. The can be designed to fire fully automatically or semi-
automatically. Semi-automatic operation requires a pull of the trigger to fire each
cartridge. Fully automatic operation allows for multiple cartridges to be fired with a
single trigger pull for as long as ammunition is available to be fired.

Long Guns
- Rifle (fusil): a relatively long-barreled firearm, fired from the shoulder, having a
series of spiral grooves (rayos) cut inside the barrel (a process called “rifling”
(cañón rayado)) imparting a rapid spin into a single projectile.
- Shotgun (escopeta): a shoulder-fired long gun with no rifling in the barrel,
designed to shoot a large number of small projectiles (shot (perdigones)), rather
than a single projectile.
- Machine gun (ametralladora): a fully automatic firearm that will continue to load
and fire ammunition until the trigger, or other activating device, is released, the
ammunition is exhausted, or the firearm is jammed (encasquillada).
