Identify the action type of the fourth pictured firearm:

  1. Semi-automatic action

  2. Pump action

  3. Bolt action

  4. Hinge action

The correct answer is: Hinge action

The fourth pictured firearm features a hinge action, which allows for efficient reloading as the barrel rotates around a pivot point. Option A, semi-automatic action, refers to a firearm that uses the energy from the previous shot to chamber the next round. Option B, pump action, involves manually pulling and pushing a fore-end to reload a new round. Option C, bolt action, involves manually operating a bolt to load and eject cartridges. These are all different types of firearm actions and are not applicable to the fourth pictured firearm, making option D the correct answer.
