Short Guns
In firearms terminology, Short Guns are the functional mechanism of a breech-loading firearm that handles (loads, locks, fires, extracts, and ejects) the ammunition cartridges, or the method by which that mechanism works.[1] Actions are technically not present on muzzleloaders, as all those are single-shot firearms with a closed-off breech with the powder and projectile manually loaded from the muzzle. Instead, the muzzleloader ignition mechanism is referred to as the lock (e.g. matchlock, flintlock, caplock).
Actions can be categorized in several ways, including single action versus double action, break action versus bolt action, and others. The term action can also include short, long, and magnum if it is in reference to the length of the rifle’s receiver and the length of the bolt. The short action rifle usually can accommodate a cartridge length of 2.8 in (71 mm) or smaller. The long action rifle can accommodate a cartridge of 3.34 in (85 mm), and the magnum action rifle can accommodate cartridges of 3.6 in (91 mm).[2]

The Beretta 92 is a 15+1-round, 9mm Parabellum, double-action, semi-automatic pistol introduced in 1975. It has an open slide design, an alloy frame, and a locking block barrel, originally used on the Walther P38, and previously used on the M1951. The grip angle and the front sight integrated with the slide were also common to earlier Beretta pistols. What may be the Beretta 92’s two most important advanced design features had first appeared on its immediate predecessor, the 1974 .380 caliber Model 84. These improvements both involved the magazine, which featured a direct feed; that is,
There was no feed ramp between the magazine and the chamber (a Beretta innovation in pistols). In addition, to a 15-round “double-stacked” magazine design,
It was the first Beretta design to use a magazine release located to the rear of the trigger guard, similar to the Colt M1911.
The United States military replaced the M1911A1 .45 ACP pistol with the Beretta 92FS, designated as the M9 in 1985.
