Combined arms is an approach to warfare which seeks to integrate different arms of a military to achieve mutually complementary effects.

For example an armored division — the modern paragon of combined arms doctrine — consists of a mixture of infa ...

In the blowback system there is no positive lock between the bolt and the barrel. The mass of the bolt and force of its recoil spring act to keep the breech closed. The expanding gases from the fired round overcome this inertia and "blow back" the breech. The breech must be kept closed until the round has left the barrel and gas pressures have subsided. The weight of the bolt is the major factor in determining this, and to remain practical this system is only really useful for weapons using relatively low pressure rounds. Blowback ope ...
