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

The handle
The front sight
The part of the gun where the bullet exits
The safety mechanism

The correct answer is: The part of the gun where the bullet exits

A muzzle on a firearm is the opening at the end of the barrel where the bullet exits upon firing. This means that options A, B, and D are incorrect, as they refer to different parts of the gun that are not related to its firing mechanism. The handle is used to hold and aim the gun, the front sight helps with accuracy, and the safety mechanism is used to prevent accidental discharge. Therefore, the term 'muzzle' cannot be used to refer to these parts.
