double action

"Double action" guns are much more common than single action - most semi-auto pistols are double-action, at least for the first shot.

That means that pulling back the slide on your semiauto pistol only chambers the round - it doesn't "cock back" the striker pin. Only when the trigger is pulled beyond "first stage" (halfway back) does the hammer/striker become cocked.

After that first shot, all other shots from the gun (until it is decocked, safety is activated, or you cycle through the rest of your ammo) are "single action," since the blowback from the previous shot provides the force to re-cock the weapon.

.50 Action Express

Big handgun cartridge a half inch in diameter (12.7mm). Designed by Evan Whildin of Action Arms to be chambered in Magnum Research's massive Desert Eagle pistol. The case has a rebated rim, which makes it function better in semi-automatic pistols than rimmed cases, which are traditionally used in revolvers. A 300 gr. bullet from a 6" barrel of the DE has a velocity of 1,500 fps with 1,600 ft lb of forces, making it extremely overpowered for self defense against a human target.

Dispite its unpractical use for self defense, the .50 AE is frequently depicted from Hollywood films to video games due to the eye appeal of the Desert Eagle pistol. In real life, the .50AE is primarily used in target shooting for those who get a kick out of shooting big bore handguns. It is also a great handgun hunting cartridge for semi-auto enthuiasts. Some might be crazy enough to use the cartridge for self or home defense due to the Desert Eagle's frequent portrayal in the media.

play action fake

You are having sexual intercourse with a woman and you are thrusting your penis into her anal cavity. Just before you are about to excrete manjuice, you pull out and spit on the woman's back so that she thinks you came. Then, as she turns around, you jack off in her face, leaving a sticky, smelly mess.
Woman: "Are you gonna cum?"
Man: "Yes honey, right now." *spit!*
Woman: "Wow, that was some great sex! Let me just turn around and-"

Actiondale

Boring suburb in northern Virginia, also known as Annandale, that is full of old white people, hispanic day laborers, MS-13 punks, and Koreans of all ages. Retail signage is often in Korean and the Washington Post has dubbed the area "Koreatown."
The child of career civil servants, Judy was raised in Actiondale, VA, where there isn't much to do if you aren't in a gang and every Korean small business owner drives either a shiny black Mercedes or Avalon with gold trim.
