Which of the following is NOT an action of a firearm?

  1. Fire

  2. Swing

  3. Unload

  4. Eject cartridge or shotshell

The correct answer is: Swing

A firearm is designed to discharge a projectile by the pull of a trigger, which is known as firing. Unloading a firearm refers to the process of removing any ammunition that may be loaded in the gun. Ejecting a cartridge or shotshell refers to removing the used casing from the firearm after it has been fired. Swing is not an action of a firearm and may refer to the movement of the gun itself, which is not a specific function of the firearm. Therefore, option B is incorrect as it does not correspond to any action that a firearm is designed to perform.
