What are the three main types of firearm actions?

  1. Bolt, lever, and automatic

  2. Semi-automatic, pump, and break

  3. Bolt, lever, and semi-automatic

  4. Recoil, gas, and manual

The correct answer is: Bolt, lever, and semi-automatic

The three main types of firearm actions are bolt, lever, and semi-automatic. The other choices listed are incorrect because they mix up different types of actions or include irrelevant or incorrect terms. For example, choice A includes the terms "automatic" and "lever", which are both types of actions, but it is missing "semi-automatic". Choice B has all three types of actions listed, but it also includes "break", which is not a type of action. Choice D lists "recoil" and "gas", which are both types of firearm operating systems, but they do not refer to the action itself. Choice C is the most accurate because it lists the three main types of actions without any extraneous or incorrect terms.
