Well I'm an idiot myself but I'll answer some.
Flash suppressor is something that minimizes the flash of your weapon. Generally they are standard on most rifles and the tend to deflect the outcoming propellant (in the form of gas) which is on fire... hence the flash.
Trigger pull. Yeah it usually says with how much pressure. It's how hard you have to pull the trigger in order for a bullet to go out.
Tumbling bullets. A lot of bullets do tumble upon impact. A lot of rifle bullets do. The latest M-16s don't. Tumbling happens when the stability of the bullet isn't excellent. Upon hitting the target, the bullet will tumble becuase it will hit the target at a slight tilt. This results in massive exit wounds and higher chances of first shot kills. However, this usually comes at the slight sacrifice of accuracy. Unless you are sniping, this slight loss shouldn't be a problem.
Maximum effective range means beyond that range, the weapon is no longer accurate.

*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
