Show Hint

It's important to distinguish between parts of the firearm (like the Breech Block) and parts of the cartridge (like the Anvil, Wads). The anvil is what the primer compound gets smashed against to detonate.

Show Solution

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Match the descriptions to firearm and ammunition components.
A. Metallic protrusion...: "Metallic protrusion where the primer gets compressed and explodes whilst the hammer strikes the primer". This is the Anvil, a primer component. Thus, A matches III.
B. A cardboard or a plastic disc...: "A cardboard or a plastic disc of 12mm thickness to cushion the wad". This describes the Cushion Wad, a shotgun shell component. Thus, B matches II.
C. The steel block...: "The steel block which closes the breech in firearms". This defines the Breech block, a firearm action part. Thus, C matches I.
D. A cardboard or a plastic piece...: "A cardboard or a plastic piece inside the brass head of a shotgun cartridge". This is the Base wad, inside the shell head. Thus, D matches IV.
The correct matches are A-III, B-II, C-I, D-IV.
