Firearm action
In firearms terminology, an action (type) is the system of operation that the firearm employs to seal the breech (in a breech-loading firearm), and to load consecutive rounds. Most commonly this is accomplished by means of a breechblock, which reciprocates in the receiver of the firearm.
