What is included in the four components of rifle ammunition?

Primer, powder, bullet, cartridge
Shot, wad, hull, primer
Case, powder, cartridge, slug
Bullet, shell, cap, wad

The correct answer is: Primer, powder, bullet, cartridge

The four components of rifle ammunition are indeed primer, powder, bullet, and cartridge case. The primer is a small device that ignites the powder when struck by the firing pin, creating the explosion needed to propel the bullet. The powder, often referred to as gunpowder, is the propellant that generates the gases necessary for pushing the bullet down the barrel at high speeds. The bullet is the projectile itself that is fired from the rifle. Lastly, the cartridge case is the container that holds all of these components together, providing a sealed environment for ignition and gas expansion. Understanding these four components is crucial for anyone involved in hunting or shooting, as knowledge of their functions helps ensure safe handling and effective use of firearms.
