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

Barrel
Action
Stock
Trigger

The correct answer is: Action

The correct answer is the 'Action.' The action of a firearm is the mechanism that loads, fires, and ejects shells or cartridges. It is a crucial part of the firearm that controls the functioning of the weapon. The other options are as follows: - Barrel: The barrel is the part of the firearm through which the projectile travels when the weapon is fired. It does not directly handle the loading, firing, and ejection process. - Stock: The stock is the part of the firearm that is held against the shooter's shoulder. It provides support and helps with stability but is not directly involved in loading, firing, and ejecting. - Trigger: The trigger is the part of the firearm that is pulled to initiate the firing sequence. While the trigger is essential for firing the weapon, it does not handle the loading, firing, and ejection process as the action does.
