ELI5: What it means when a firearm has a "gas-operated reloading" system?
Other than the whole "pull trigger, gunpowder goes off firing the bullet from the casing" part, that part I understand.
If the Elcor military consists of dudes with V.I.-operated turrets on their backs that do all the targeting, shooting, and reloading themselves, then why bother with the actual Elcor at all? Why not just put the turret on treads and call it a drone?
Seriously, what's up with this?
Can a plug-in hybrid be operated for a period of time on gas only?
Can a plug-in hybrid be operated for a period of time (2 or 3 months) on gasoline only? For example, if I am going to spend some time with my car where it would not be practicable to charge it? Normally (the rest of the year) it would only use electricity, driving about 20-30 miles per day
Are coin operated vaccuums at gas stations available this time of year? A bit overdue and the crumbs are now out of control!
this is a prototype of Stirling engine: its a heat engine that is operated by the cyclic compression and expansion of air or other gas at different temperatures, resulting in a net conversion of heat energy to mechanical work(nerd explanation).

Bought a battery operated chainsaw for pruning and blank prep, really enjoying not having to rev up the gas version for a couple quick cuts.
the GSh-6-30 mounted to the MiG-27M has a short spool-up time between hitting fire and shooting (the non-spooling gunpods are here to give reference). this is inaccurate, as unlike the electronically spooled vulcan, the GSh-6-30 is gas-operated, allowing it to fire instantly

Why do gas operated rifles use the gas tapped from the barrel to both: unlock the bolt, and cycle the action? Why not just have the gas unlock the bolt, and then have the gun cycle like a straight blowback?
In other words, why not use the gas tapped from the barrel to ONLY unlock the bolt (NOT cycle it), and then use the residual pressure pushing on the empty casing to provide the force to cycle the action? (Like on a straight blowback, where the pressure from firing pushes on the empty casing and cycles the action)
TL;DR
Using the gas tapped from the barrel to ONLY unlock the bolt (NOT cycle it). Then, using the force of the empty casing pushing back on the bolt to cycle the action.
Would this work?

10 ga Brass Shotgun Shell Reloading Tools
I am trying to find some resources to locate hand reloading tools for an old 10ga shotgun I have inherited from my FIL. I have been able to find all the wadding I would need and the other components. I have even found an old hand priming tool. What I haven’t been able to find is the dowel tool used to compress the load at each layer. Does anyone here happen to know a good place to look? I’ve checked google to no avail. Most searches went to eBay, which also left me empty handed.
Thank you in advance.

Would it be possible to fit the muzzle brake of aircraft Lewis guns that speeds up its rate of fire on other gas-operated machine guns, like a Type 11 or a Hotchkiss ?
Were there coin-operated home gas meters in the USA in the 19th and early 20th centuries?
When I was a child in the 1970s I ran across a joke book that was clearly many decades older, and in that book was a joke to the effect of: "A young child was told to save his pennies in a special green box. When the green box was full he was to take it to his parents and they would give him dimes in exchange, which he stored in a yellow box. When the yellow box was full, he was to take all the dimes and put them in a red box in the basement. Many years later he learned that the red box was the gas meter."
Did homes of that era really have coin-operated gas meters? That seems really inefficient. As a lifelong aficionado of historic ephemera, I seem to recall seeing other articles and items that hinted at this, though I can't recall any of them at the moment. This has been a mystery for me for many years and I welcome any information.

I know it's been asked before but does anyone have an opinion on gas versus inertia operated semi-autos? If so is there any model that you recommend for 1K or less?
With the season coming up in me winning my draw I'm in the market for my first semi-automatic since having a pump for the past twenty years. I'm sure there are some other of you wondering the same thing right about now!
My family has owned and operated a "junk yard" since 1927 which started as a gas station and service shop in 1927. Could someone clean up this photo for me?
