Which firearm action types are commonly used in hunting?

  1. Bolt, lever, and automatic

  2. Pump, blowback, and revolving

  3. Bolt, pump, and semi-automatic

  4. Single-shot, double-barrel, and muzzleloading

The correct answer is: Bolt, pump, and semi-automatic

The correct answer is C: Bolt, pump, and semi-automatic. These firearm action types are commonly used in hunting for their reliability, ease of use, and efficiency in different hunting scenarios. Option A is incorrect because automatic firearms are generally not legal for hunting purposes in most areas. Option B includes blowback and revolving actions, which are less common in hunting firearms compared to bolt, pump, and semi-automatic actions. Option D includes single-shot, double-barrel, and muzzleloading firearms, which are also commonly used in hunting but not as frequently as bolt, pump, and semi-automatic actions.
