[samuelwbarker]

yeah it bends near that spot where there's 6 white connecters

[leon0862]

[Hope_Sandals]

A firing pin strikes the primer of a cartridge to fire a round out of it; it doesn't propel rods out of a plastic barrel. A scope on a gun magnifies the view of the shooter and usually doesn't obstruct it. A rifle is a gun with a rifled barrel.
