California Firearm Safety Certificate Practice Test

The pictured item is a:

1. Bolt action rifle

2. Bolt action pistol

3. Semi-automatic rifle

4. Revolver

The correct answer is: Bolt action pistol

The pictured item's design, with its long barrel and stock, resembles that of a rifle, but its size is more comparable to that of a handgun. This design, along with its bolt action mechanism, is commonly seen in pistol configurations, therefore making it a bolt action pistol. A bolt action rifle, on the other hand, is typically longer and designed for more precise and accurate shooting at longer distances. A semi-automatic rifle, usually shorter in length, operates with a different mechanism that allows for faster shooting compared to bolt action models. As for a revolver, the pictured item does not have a rotating cylinder commonly found in revolvers. Therefore, the correct answer is B Bolt action pistol.
