What is the part of the pistol called where the bullet leaves the end of the barrel?

• A. Muzzle
• B. Chamber
• C. Barrel
• D. Firing pin

Answer: (A)

The muzzle is the part at the front end of the barrel where the bullet exits the gun. It marks the exit point of the projectile after it travels through the barrel. The chamber holds the cartridge before firing, the barrel is the long tube that guides the bullet, and the firing pin is the internal piece that strikes the primer to ignite the powder. So the element described—where the bullet leaves the end of the barrel—is the muzzle.
