18B Weapons Characteristics Practice Test

What is the GALIL system of operation?

Gas blast, semi-auto only Gas piston, short stroke Gas blast, select fire Blowback

Correct Answer:

Gas blast, select fire

Explanation:

The GALIL is a gas-operated rifle that uses gas pressure tapped from the barrel to drive a piston and cycle the action. This piston-based system is robust and clearly distinguishes it from blowback. In addition, many GALIL variants are select-fire, meaning they can switch between semi-auto and full-auto fire. So describing it as gas-operated (gas-driven) with select-fire best captures both how the action cycles and how the weapon can be fired. The other options miss one or both of these points: a short-stroke gas system isn’t accurate for the GALIL’s long-stroke design, blowback isn’t how it operates, and semi-auto-only omits the full-auto capability found in many variants.
