Post; Gun Questions


ok, i was reading a book, on SF and the guns they use.
they were describing the guns and i didn't understand what they were talking about so i hope someone here can explain things to me!!

*what is a flash supressor, and how does it differ fron a sound supressor (silencer?)
*trigger pull - how does it affect the gun and how it fires, or is it purely how much force you have to place on the trigger to fire the weapon
*tumbling bullets- what are they?fact or fiction
*what is a parabellum round? how does this affect the bullet compared to FMJ rounds?
*what does it mean when a gun "operates by blowback"
*what does "maximum effective range" mean? is it the furthest away a target can be and be hit by your shots?

more to come
(sorry if these questions seem dumb or basic!!)
