The term that describes a firearm action capable of firing more than one shot before reloading is:

• A. Repeating
• B. Single-shot
• C. Break-action
• D. Bolt-action

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is how many shots a firearm can fire before you have to reload. A repeating action is designed to feed and fire multiple cartridges from a magazine or internal storage, so you can shoot several times without stopping to reload each round. This includes common mechanisms like lever-action, pump-action, bolt-action, and semi-automatic designs, all of which can deliver more than one shot in succession before needing a reload.

Single-shot means you can fire only once before you must reload, so it doesn’t match the idea of multiple shots before reloading. Break-action refers to the way the gun opens to load and unload; it’s a loading mechanism and can be single-shot or, in some double-barrel forms, allow two shots, but it isn’t the broad term for firing many rounds without reloading. Bolt-action is a specific mechanism that is often repeating, but the term that best describes the ability to fire more than one shot before reloading is repeating.
