Question

Match the LIST-I with LIST-II 

LIST-I	LIST-II
A. Metallic protrusion where the primer gets compressed and explodes...	III. Anvil
B. A cardboard or a plastic disc of 12mm...	IV. Base wad
C. The steel block which closes the breech in firearms	I. Breech block
D. A cardboard or a plastic piece inside the brass head of a shotgun cartridge	II. Cushion Wad

• A. A - III, B - II, C - I, D - IV
• B. A - I, B - II, C - III, D - IV
• C. A - I, B - II, C - IV, D - III
• D. A - III, B - IV, C - I, D - II

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.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Let's match the descriptions to the components of firearms and ammunition.
A. Metallic protrusion...: "Metallic protrusion where the primer gets compressed and explodes whilst the hammer strikes the primer". This describes the Anvil, a component inside a Boxer or Berdan primer against which the priming compound is crushed. So, A matches with III.
B. A cardboard or a plastic disc...: "A cardboard or a plastic disc of 12mm thickness to cushion the wad". This describes a filler or cushioning component within a shotgun shell, i.e., the Cushion Wad. So, B matches with II.
C. The steel block...: "The steel block which closes the breech in firearms". This is the definition of the Breech block, a part of the firearm's action, not the cartridge. So, C matches with I.
D. A cardboard or a plastic piece...: "A cardboard or a plastic piece inside the brass head of a shotgun cartridge". This describes the Base wad, which is located inside the shell head. So, D matches with IV.
The correct set of matches is A-III, B-II, C-I, D-IV.
