Other Autoloading Systems
Other autoloading systems are:
- Blow forward where the barrel is the only moving component of the weapon that is dragged forward by the friction of the bullet until it leaves the barrel.
- Recoil operation uses the rearward movement of parts of the weapon counter to the ejecta moving forward, as described by Newton's third law of motion.
- Gatling and other mechanical means utilize mechanical energy from an operator turning a crank.
- Chain and others utilize external power through electrical or hydraulic energy for operation.
- Gas-operated reloading

Famous quotes containing the word systems:
“I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special systems of education. They seem to me to be built up on the supposition that every child is a kind of idiot who must be taught to think.”
—Anne Sullivan (1866–1936)
