62-540: A 19-year-old former student went on school premises armed with a sawed-off 16-gauge Winchester Model 12 pump-action shotgun , a black tactical vest, and a blue backpack full of gloves and shotgun shells. The perpetrator, later identified as Sky Bouche, shot once through a classroom door and a piece of the door hit one student in the ankle. Immediately after, Bouche surrendered to the school staff. Marion County Sheriff's Office School Resource Deputy Jim Long soon arrested him and took him into custody. SWAT officers swept

93-429: A Firearm, Culpable Negligence, Carrying a Concealed Firearm, Possession of a Firearm on School Property, Possession of a Short-Barreled Shotgun, Interference in a School Function, and Armed Trespassing on School Property. In 2021, Bouche was sentenced to 30   years imprisonment, with the possibility of parole only after 25   years, followed by an additional 30   years of probationary release. After Bouche

124-728: A group of 34 students from the nearby black school , Howard High School began attending. In 1969 the courts mandated the schools became fully integrated and Howard was closed. Vanguard High School was opened the same year, and the Marion County School Board put to rest the name Ocala High School. Forest High School is in the Marion County School District . EMIT is a four-year magnet engineering program at Forest High School. EMIT aims to teach its students engineering fundamentals to prepare them for postsecondary colleges or universities in engineering. The curriculum

155-526: A similar mechanism to both load a pellet and compress a spring piston for power, or pneumatic guns where a pump is used to compress the air used for power. See the airgun article for information on how spring piston and pneumatic airguns work. The 43mm GM-94 is a pump-action grenade launcher developed by the KBP design bureau for use by Russian special forces . It carries three rounds in an above-the-barrel tubular magazine. Another pump-action grenade launcher

186-417: A sleeve around the grip area of the stock which the shooter would slide back and forward to cycle the gun. This was done because the forend based pump action was under patent at the time. Pump-action shotguns , also called pump shotguns , slide-action repeating shotguns or slide-action shotguns are the most commonly seen pump-action firearms. These shotguns typically use a tubular magazine underneath

217-414: A sliding handguard underneath the barrel was the firearm patented by William Krutzsch of Britain on the 27th of August in 1866, a few months after Meigs. Many older pump-action shotguns can be fired faster than modern ones, as they often did not have a trigger disconnector , and were capable of firing a new round as fast as the pump action was cycled, with the trigger held down continuously. This technique

248-510: A trigger disconnector, which disconnects the trigger from the sear as the bolt moves back, so that the trigger must be released and pulled again to fire the shotgun after it closes. Many early pump shotguns, such as the Winchester 1897 , did not have trigger disconnectors, and would, if the trigger were held back, fire immediately upon closing. Due to the higher rate of fire that this allows, some shooters prefer models without this feature, such as

279-627: Is a type of manual firearm action that is operated by moving a sliding handguard on the gun's forestock . When shooting , the sliding forend is pulled rearward to eject any expended cartridge and typically to cock the hammer or striker , and then pushed forward to load a new cartridge into the chamber . Most pump-action firearms use an integral tubular magazine , although some do use detachable box magazines . Pump-action firearms are typically associated with shotguns , although it has also been used in rifles , grenade launchers , and other types of firearms. A firearm using this operating mechanism

310-524: Is called a slamfire , and was often used in conjunction with the M1897 and M1912 shotguns in World War I trench warfare. Modern pump-action designs are a little slower than a semi-automatic shotgun , but the pump-action offers greater flexibility in selection of shotshells , allowing the shooter to mix different types of loads and for using low-power or specialty loads. Semi-automatic shotguns must use some of

341-405: Is colloquially referred to as a pumpgun . Because the forend is manipulated usually with the support hand, a pump-action firearm is much faster than a bolt-action and somewhat faster than a lever-action , as it does not require the trigger hand to be removed from the trigger while reloading. Also because the action is cycled in a linear fashion, it creates less torque that can tilt and throw

372-465: Is different from Wikidata All article disambiguation pages All disambiguation pages Forest High School (Florida) Forest High School moved to its current location on Maricamp Road, southeast of the city limits of Ocala, in 2005. The school was originally on Fort King Street in Ocala, at the 1959 campus of Ocala High School. Prior to 1965, the school was for white students only . In 1965,

403-476: Is especially important when hunting, as many locations have legal limits on the magazine capacity: for example, three rounds for shotguns and five rounds for rifles. The BSA Machine Carbine used a unique pump-action that also required twisting the handguard. Another variant was the Burgess Folding Shotgun from the late 19th century where instead of manipulating the forend to cycle the action, it had

434-437: Is heavily project-based that often includes problem-solving tasks which must be built and later presented to teachers. These projects typically cover the basics of many engineering disciplines, including civil engineering, aerospace engineering, and more. EMIT was created from a $ 1.2 million Florida Department of Education grant in 1994. An application is required to be considered for admission. On April 20, 2018, at 8:29 a.m,

465-600: Is the Krieghoff Semprio "in-line repeating rifle ". The Semprio is a reverse pump-action system that ejects cartridges when the fore-end is pushed forward and loads the chamber when pulled backward. The Semprio's 7-lug bolt head design displays a locking surface of 65 mm (0.101 in ) compared to the 56 mm (0.087 in ) of the Mauser M98 bolt-action rifle . The term pump-action can also be applied to various airsoft guns and air guns , which use

496-414: Is typically fed from a tubular magazine underneath the barrel, which also serves as a guide to the movable forend. The rounds are fed in one by one through a port in the receiver, where they are pushed forward. A latch at the rear of the magazine holds the rounds in place in the magazine until they are needed. If it is desired to load the gun fully, a round may be loaded through the ejection port directly into

527-593: The Ithaca 37 , Stevens Model 520/620 , and Winchester Model 12 . When used in rifles , this action is also commonly called a slide action . In the late 19th and early 20th century it was referred to as a trombone action , because it functioned similarly to the musical instrument of the same name. Colt manufactured the Colt Lightning Carbine from 1884 to 1904 chambered in .44-40 caliber. The slide action Winchester Model 1890 chambered in .22 caliber

558-406: The gun barrel to hold the shells , though there are some variants that use a box magazine like most rifles. It's not uncommon to see extra ammunition stored in externally mounted "shell holder" racks (usually as "sidesaddle" on one side of the receiver , or on the buttstock ) for quick on-field reloading. The shells are chambered and extracted by pulling/pushing the sliding fore-end enveloping

589-399: The bolt moves rearwards, a single shell is released from the magazine, and is pushed backwards to come to rest on the elevator. As the forend reaches the rear and begins to move forward, the elevator lifts up the shell, lining it up with the barrel. As the bolt moves forward, the round slides into the chamber, and the final portion of the forend's travel locks the bolt into position. A pull of

620-400: The chamber, or cycled from the magazine, which is then topped off with another round. Pump shotguns with detachable box magazines or even drums exist, and may or may not allow the magazine to be inserted without stripping the top round. Nearly all pump-actions use a back-and-forward motion of the forend to cycle the action. Only a few pump-actions use the "reverse" or forward-and-back motion of

651-506: The energy of each round fired to cycle their actions, meaning that they must be loaded with shells powerful enough to reliably cycle. The pump-action avoids this limitation. In addition, like all manual action guns, pump-action guns are inherently more reliable than semi-automatic guns under adverse conditions, such as exposure to dirt, sand, or climatic extremes. Thus, until recently, military combat shotguns were almost exclusively pump-action designs. Like most lever-action rifles and shotguns,

682-463: The forend to cycle the action, a few examples are the Russian RMB-93 and South African NeoStead 2000 . The forend is connected to the bolt by one or two bars; two bars are considered more reliable because it provides symmetric forces on the bolt and pump and reduces the chances of binding. The motion of the bolt back and forth in a tubular magazine model will also operate the elevator , which lifts

713-490: The gun off aim when repeat-firing rapidly. The first slide action patent was issued to Alexander Bain of Britain in 1854. The first pump action firearm with a magazine was technically the gun patented in America on the 22nd of May in 1866 by Josiah V. Meigs although the pump action was actuated via the trigger guard rather than a sliding handguard underneath the barrel. The first magazine-using pump-action firearm to operate using

744-535: The majority of pump-action shotguns and rifles use a fixed tubular magazine . This makes for slow reloading, as the cartridges have to be inserted individually into the magazine of the firearm. However, some pump-action shotguns and rifles, including the Russian Zlatoust RB-12 , Italian Valtro PM5 , American Remington 7600 series, and the Mossberg 590M, use detachable box magazines . A pump-action firearm

806-472: The school afterwards in search of any weapons or explosives. In court, Bouche stated that his reason for wanting to shoot up the school was because he figured it was the only way to get out of his violent home life. Bouche also stated that he chose to do it on April 20th since it was the 19th anniversary of the Columbine High School massacre . Bouche was charged with Terrorism, Aggravated Assault with

837-407: The shells from the level of the magazine to the level of the barrel. After firing a round, the bolt is unlocked and the forend is free to move. The shooter pulls back on the forend to begin the operating cycle. The bolt unlocks and begins to move to the rear, which extracts and ejects the empty shell from the chamber, cocks the hammer, and begins to load the new shell. In a tubular magazine design, as

868-431: The trigger will fire the next round, where the cycle begins again. Most pump-action firearms do not have any positive indication that they are out of ammunition, so it is possible to complete a cycle and have an empty chamber. The risk of running out of ammunition unexpectedly can be minimized in a tubular magazine firearm by topping off the magazine by loading new rounds to replace the rounds that have just been fired. This

899-450: The tubular magazine toward the user. In modern shotguns, the fore-end can be replaceable and often include picatinny rails or M-LOK for mounting accessories such as a tactical light , and the traditional straight grip might be replaced with a pistol grip for a more stable control. Modern pump shotgun designs, such as the Remington 870 and Mossberg 500 , have a safety feature called

930-445: Was one of the most successful repeating rimfire rifle made by Winchester . Approximately 849,000 Model 1890 rifles were produced between 1890 and 1932. Later pump-action rifles were also manufactured by Winchester, Marlin , Browning and Remington . A "reverse pump-action" design can sometimes be found, where the extraction is done by pushing the fore-end forwards, and re-chambered by pulling backwards. One such 21st-century variant

961-494: Was sentenced, he stated that he never intended to kill anyone, but wanted to "let people know there's something wrong" with him. Marion County School Board member Nancy Stacy cancelled all school gun-reform walkouts in Marion County due to the shooting. Deputy Jim Long was labelled "Florida School Resource Officer Of The Year" for his involvement in arresting Bouche on June 20th, 2018. Pump-action shotgun Pump action
