What does the term 'muzzle' refer to on a firearm?

  1. The grip

  2. The front sight

  3. The end of the barrel from which the bullet exits

  4. The trigger mechanism

The correct answer is: The end of the barrel from which the bullet exits

The term 'muzzle' refers to the end of a firearm's barrel from which a bullet exits. This is incorrect because the muzzle refers to the front end of the barrel, not the back end where the bullet exits. The grip (A), front sight (B), and trigger mechanism (D) are all different parts of the firearm and are not considered the muzzle.
