| Qualification Inspections: | • Determine the need. • Qualify the applicant by interview and background investigations. • Qualify the premises. • Educate on laws and regs. • Advise of business and record keeping • Make recommendations for issuance or denial |
| Compliance Inspections: | • Unannounced inspections. • Review records. • Background checks. • Conduct inventories. • Proper recordkeeping • Violations (if applicable). • Corrective actions (if any) • Adm Action (if any). • Referrals to CE or other |
| How are firearms are classified? | • Pistol v. Revolver. • Rifle v. Shotgun. • Machine gun, silencer, short barreled rifle, etc. |
| Definition of a Pistol? | Weapon designed, made, and intended to fire a projectile from 1+ barrels when held in hand; a chamber as an integral part, or permanently aligned with, the bore; a short stock to be gripped by hand at an angle to and extending below the line of the bore |
| Revolver features | May be double action or single action. Loading mechanism; Swing-out cylinder; Loading gate; Top break or tip up; Removable cylinder |
| What is a matchlock? | Ignition system for a muzzle loading firearms in which the trigger moves am arm containing a lit match down into the priming powder located in a pan attached to the side of the barrel discharging the firearm. 1st to use lock, stock, barrel. |
| Wheellock is | 1st ignition system to produce sparks by striking flint or other substances against steel. |
| Flintlock is | Muzzle loading firearm ignition system in which a piece of flint is attached to the hammer. |
| How does Wheellock work? | Wheel wound with a key or wrench. The hammer (dog's head). When trigger pulled the wheel spins and generates a spark igniting the powder charge firing the projectile |
| Percussion Cap | Muzzle loading firearm ignition system that uses a metallic cup containing a priming compound that's placed on a nipple when struck by a hammer explodes and ignites the propellant charge in the firearm. |
| Definition of revolver | A projectile weapon, of the pistol type, having a breech loading chambered cylinder so arranged that the cocking of the hammer or movement of the trigger rotates it and brings the next cartridge in line with the barrel for firing. |
| Pistol Feature | May be auto-loading or manually loaded May be hammer fired or striker fired May be double action, double action only or single action |
| Main Difference between a rifle and a shotgun | Bore- Shotgun has a smooth bore and rifle has a rifled bore |
| What is a rifle? | a weapon intended to be fired from the shoulder and to use the energy of the explosive in a fixed metallic cartridge to fire only a single projectile through a rifled bore for each single pull of the trigger. |
| Shotgun | weapon designed, made, and intended to be fired from the shoulder and designed use the energy of the explosive in a fixed shotgun shell to fire through a smooth bore either a number of ball shot or a single projectile for each single pull of the trigger |
| Long Gun action types | • Lever action • Bolt action • Pump/slide action • Break open action • Auto-loading |
| Long Gun Mode of Fire | Manually loaded • Single shot • Repeater Auto-loading • Open bolt • Closed bolt |
| Auto Loading Modes of Operation | • Blowback • Gas operated • Recoil |
| Cycle of Fire | • Feeding • Chambering • Locking • Firing • Unlocking • Extraction • Ejection • Cocking |
| Blowback | unlocked breech and relies on the mass of the bolt/ breechlock and the strength of the return spring to prevent the cartridge case from being until the pressure drops and the bullet has left the barrel |
| Gas Operated | The propellant gases are used to unlock the bolt/breechlock and to complete the cycle of fire |
| Recoil | When the cartridge is fired the barrel and bolt recoil rearward while locked together. Then bolt and barrel are unlocked and further rearward movement of the barrel is stopped but bolt continues. |
| Feeding | Process of moving the cartridge from the magazine into the chamber. May be by hand or a bolt may push the cartridge from the magazine. |
| Chambering | Insertion of the cartridge being loaded from the magazine into the correct dimensional fitted chamber. |
| Locking | Bolt "locks" the cartridge into the chamber. Some firearms do not technically lock, but the bolt holds the cartridge in the chamber under spring action. |
| Firing | The trigger is pulled releasing the firing mechanism which strikes the primer discharging the cartridge |
| Unlocking | After round fires, the bolt is unlocked so it can move rearward to allow for removal of the fired cartridge case |
| Extraction | The removal of a fired cartridge from the chamber after firing. |
| Ejection | AT the end of extraction, the fired cartridge case is removed or expelled from the forearm normally through the ejection port. |
| Cocking | Rearward motion of the bolt resets the firing mechanism by cocking the hammer or striker. |
| what is Cycle of Fire | A sequence of mechanical events that a breech loading firearm must perform in order to discharge a cartridge. 8 steps |
| What are the 8 steps of Cycle of Fire | •Feeding •Chambering •Locking •Firing •Unlocking •Extraction •Ejection •Cocking |
