Manitoba Hunter Safety Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

What is the portion of the firearm that loads, fires, and ejects a cartridge or shot shell called?

A. Trigger

B. Magazine

C. Action

The action of a firearm is the mechanism responsible for loading, firing, and ejecting a cartridge or shot shell.

The trigger, while an important part of the firing process, is not solely responsible for these functions.

The magazine is used to hold and feed the ammunition, but does not have a direct role in loading or firing.

The stock is the part of the firearm that is held against the shooter's shoulder and helps with stability, but does not have a direct role in loading or firing.

Therefore, the correct answer is C. Action.
