Bolt action

Bolt-action is a type of manual firearm action that is operated by directly manipulating the bolt via a bolt handle, most commonly placed on the right-hand side of the firearm (as most users are right-handed).

See 7.62mm UKM and Bolt action

Bolt thrust

Bolt thrust or breech pressure is a term used in internal ballistics and firearms (whether small arms or artillery) that describes the amount of rearward force exerted by the propellant gases on the bolt or breech of a firearm action or breech when a projectile is fired.

See 7.62mm UKM and Bolt thrust

Bullet

A bullet is a kinetic projectile, a component of firearm ammunition that is shot from a gun barrel.

Cartridge (firearms)

A cartridge, also known as a round, is a type of pre-assembled firearm ammunition packaging a projectile (bullet, shot, or slug), a propellant substance (smokeless powder, black powder substitute, or black powder) and an ignition device (primer) within a metallic, paper, or plastic case that is precisely made to fit within the barrel chamber of a breechloading gun, for convenient transportation and handling during shooting. 7.62mm UKM and cartridge (firearms) are Pistol and rifle cartridges.

Centerfire ammunition
