What is the GALIL type of feed?

• A. Rotating bolt
• B. Rotating feed
• C. Box feed
• D. Belt feed

Answer: (B)

In firearms, feed type describes how cartridges are moved from the magazine into the chamber as the weapon cycles. The Galil is described as using a rotating feed mechanism. This means a rotating element engages the next cartridge in the curved box magazine and rotates it into alignment with the chamber as the action cycles, helping ensure reliable feeding during automatic fire. This approach is a distinct way of presenting rounds compared to a straight, in-line “box feed” and is different from belt-fed designs used on some machine guns. The term focuses on how the next cartridge is presented to the bolt, not on the locking action of the bolt itself.
