Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering / arms and ammo
English term or phrase: rifle action
The word "action" concerning small arms is used as a noun today, to indicate that portion of it handling the feeding, firing and extraction operations...

Encontré esta descripción en Internet, pero no sé si en español sea 'acción del rifle' o 'accionado del rifle' para indicar el término en este sentido.

Muchas gracias por sus comentarios,

Asker: Gracias, Valeria. Me parece que accionamiento es una buena opción, pero creo que para el contexto, que es propiamente la descripción del rifle, queda mejor mecanismo. De todos modos, voy a esperar y te agradezco mucho tu sugerencia.

bolt-action rifle

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi,
Is "bolt-action rifle" a synomyn of "single-shot rifle"? What about the translation into Spanish, could it be "rifle or fusil de cerrojo"?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Esperanza

No sé si de dice "rifle de cerrojo". Lo que es seguro es que el mecanismo de ese tipo de rifles se llama tal cual: el cerrojo del rifle. Pero no sé si existe otro sustantivo.

Saludos.
