What is the first step in the firing sequence of a modern firearm?

  1. Pulling the trigger

  2. Firing pin hitting the primer

  3. Cartridge being chambered

  4. Expulsion of the bullet

The correct answer is: Pulling the trigger

The first step in the firing sequence of a modern firearm is pulling the trigger. When the trigger is pulled, it releases the sear, which then allows the firing mechanism to strike the primer of the cartridge. This ignition leads to the firing pin hitting the primer, which in turn ignites the gunpowder inside the cartridge, causing the controlled explosion that propels the bullet out of the barrel. Therefore, pulling the trigger initiates the entire firing process.
