Regulate Bullets Release For Free

A rough finish or improper angle on the feed ramp can contribute to (or even be the main cause of) setback. A good way to determine if your pistol is the culprit is to check for setback with factory ammo in your handgun, and also to retest your rounds in another pistol (or pistols) of the same caliber.

When the action of the firearm is cycled, a part of the action called the extractor grabs the edge of the fired cartridge and pulls it from the chamber. A second part called the ejector kicks the empty case out of the gun.

The spark from the primer ignites the gunpowder. Gas converted from the burning powder rapidly expands in the cartridge. The expanding gas forces the bullet out of the cartridge and down the barrel with great speed. The rifling in the barrel causes the bullet to spin as it travels out of the barrel.

It's not a spoiler to say he doesn't die, thus demonstrating that water, which is 1000 times denser than air, will stop a bullet remarkably quickly.

The short Answer is 'to fire more bullets'. Single barrel, single shot weapons - mainly break action shotguns, bolt action rifles and revolvers all eject cartridges if unfired, or cases if fired.

The firing pin strikes the primer, causing it to explode. The spark from the primer ignites the gunpowder. Gas converted from the burning powder rapidly expands in the cartridge. The expanding gas forces the bullet out of the cartridge and down the barrel with great speed.

The extractor moves with the bolt to pull the cartridge case rearwards out of the chamber, and at some point the ejector eccentrically exerts a frontal push (from the case's frame of reference), which torques and "flicks" the case out of a side opening on the receiver known as the ejector port.
