A. adj.

1. Designating a pistol or other firearm whose barrel is unscrewed and removed in order to load the projectile into the exposed breech. Now chiefly historical.Such firearms are typically loaded with a projectile slightly larger than the bore of the barrel. As a consequence, the propellant has to generate enough pressure to deform the projectile before it can pass through the barrel, providing it with considerable kinetic energy.
