A recoil-operated pistol has an arrangement which lowers the barrel bore axis and reduces the effect of felt recoil on the user. The pistol has a frame having a handgrip adapted to receive a magazine and a slide mounted for alternating longitudinal movement. A barrel carrier is mounted for alternating longitudinal horizontal movement along the frame and has a barrel rotatably connected to it near its muzzle end. The axis of the barrel bore when in the position for firing is below the lips of the magazine. An actuating mechanism under the influence of the recoiling barrel carrier rotates the barrel upwards such that the breech end of the barrel moves upwards to allow a cartridge to be removed. The recoiling barrel carrier urges the slide rearwards to facilitate the extraction and feeding of cartridges.

Firearms have a lower frame including a trigger and a grip, an upper frame including a barrel and a bolt, and a magazine receptacle configured to receive a magazine and positioned between the upper and lower frames. The lower frame and upper frame may each have forward portions pivotally connected to each other to form a pivotal connection. The pivotal connection may be operable to pivot on a horizontal axis transverse to the firearm. The upper and lower frames may be movable between an open position in which the upper and lower frame are angularly separated from each other and the magazine receptacle is accessible for removal and replacement of a magazine, and a closed position in which the magazine is closely received between the upper and lower frames. The magazine receptacle may be laterally open on both sides of the firearm.

Break barrel airguns are provided with a loading system that uses the cocking action of the break barrel type airgun to load projectiles from a magazine held by a magazine holder into a shuttle system that is positioned by the magazine holder during loader and moved to a position aligned with the barrel during firing. The loading system has a resilient barrier between the magazine holder and the shuttle that reduces the risks of loading errors caused by adhesion between the bolt and a pellet.
