ACTION TYPES

Like a first date, the action is the exciting part of a firearm.

An action will be one of two styles: either single-shot or repeating. If single-shot style, the ammunition must be reloaded manually each time the firearm is fired. Repeating firearms will have extra cartridges or shot shells at the ready in a magazine or cylinder.
