Firearms Terms
These firearms terms are only a partial list to help you with your firearms term search.
We are trying to get as many gun related products on one website to save you time, and help you locate just the item you are
looking for.
Letter "O"
Off hand -- To fire while standing, without bracing against a bench, bipod, tree, or any other rest.
Off hand -- The non-dominant hand.
Open Sights -- The most common type of iron sights. Open sights are called open because the rear sight is an open-topped U or
a V or a square-notch shape, in contrast to the closed circle commonly found in aperture sights .
Out of Battery -- Most firearms do not have literal batteries. But a semi-automatic is said to be out of battery when the slide fails to come
all the way forward again after the gun has fired. This condition can be created by a misfeed, a dirty gun, weak springs, the shooter's thumbs
brushing against the slide, riding the slide, or any of several other causes.
Over / Under -- A shotgun with two barrels which are vertically aligned with each other, one on top of the other.
Over-travel -- Immediately after the trigger break which fires the shot, the trigger should be unable to move any further to
the rear. If it is able to continue moving to the rear after the shot has fired, the trigger is said to over-travel.
