Steyr Mannlicher M1894 Pistol (2100 words)
This earliest Mannlicher pistol was designed to be self loading and to use a special rimmed cartridge in 6.5mm caliber.
The barrel (a very movable object) is pushed forward by the motion and direction of the expanding gases against the friction of the the traveling projectile, until the bullet exits the muzzle, after which forward motion of the barrel is due to inertia.
This pistol differs from the Mauser and Colt in that the operations of loading and ejecting the empty cartridge case are performed by a backward and forward movement of the barrel, while the former are recoil-operated arms.
Steyr ACR (746 words)
The Steyr 5.56 mm ACR is a gas operated/ rising chamber modular weapon system firing semiautomatic or high cyclic 3 round burst of flechette projectiles from a 24 double round magazine.
Steyr in presenting its ACR system is the only system that balances human engineering and weapons design with consideration of cost and near term availability to offer a quantum improvement over the M16 A2.
The Steyr ACR is designed for ambidextrous use to include the magazine release, safety, and cartridge ejection from the bottom of the weapon.
