Types of Repeating Riffle

Automatic Rifle
An automatic rifle fires
repeatedly as long as the trigger
is held down, until the magazine
is exhausted. That fully
automatic firing is achieved by
weapons such as the machine
gun and submachine gun.
Types of Repeating Riffle
Bolt-action rifle
Bolt-action is a type of
manual firearm action that is
operated by directly
manipulating the bolt via a bolt
handle, which is most
commonly placed on the right-
hand side of the weapon (as
most users are right-handed).
Types of Repeating Riffle
Lever-action Rifle
Lever-action is a type of action
for repeating firearms that uses a
manually operated cocking handle
located around the trigger guard
area that pivots forward to move the
bolt via internal linkages, which will
feed and extract cartridges into and
out of the chamber, and cock the
firing pin mechanism.
Types of Repeating Riffle
Semi-automatic rifle
A semi-automatic rifle is
an autoloading rifle that fires a
single cartridge with each pull
of the trigger, and uses part of
the fired cartridge's energy to
eject the case and load
another cartridge into the
chamber.
