Which part of a firearm loads, fires, and ejects shells or cartridges?

1. Stock

2. Barrel

3. Action

4. Trigger

The correct answer is: Action

The correct answer is Action. The action of a firearm is the part that loads, fires, and ejects shells or cartridges. It is essentially the mechanism that allows the firearm to function by cycling the ammunition through the process of loading, firing, and ejecting. As for the other options: - The stock of a firearm is the part that you hold against your shoulder to stabilize the gun while aiming and shooting. - The barrel is the metal tube through which the bullet or shot travels when the firearm is fired. - The trigger is the part of the firearm that you pull to initiate the firing process.
