Depending on the context, hammer is already a verb. For example, "to hammer something" or "to hammer on something" is an action therefore a verb.
Bartolomeo Cristofori created the original hammer action in a piano (he also invented the piano itself).
No, no hammer action with hole saws.
The single-action trigger performs only the one action of releasing the hammer to fire the bullet. The hammer must be cocked for this to occurr.
Single action The action mechanism would be the hammer with flint.
A single action pistol, such as the 191A1 .45 Auto, requires that the hammer be cocked before the first shot. A Double Action pistol does not need to have the hammer cocked- pulling the trigger causes the hammer to rise and fall. Some are DAO- Double Action Only- the hammer cannot BE cocked, and must be fired from a "hammer down" position. These include the Para-Ordnance LDA pistols.
Generally speaking, a single action gun is a gun that has to be cocked before it can be fired. The term "single action" comes from the fact that the trigger only has a single function; it drops the hammer to fire the gun. A good example of a single action handgun is a 1911 style or a Browning Hi-Power. Also, the old style "cowboy" revolvers are single action.
Digital pianos and electronic keyboards may have hammer action that simulates the weight and feel of an acoustic piano. "Scaled" or "graded" hammer action means that the lower keys have a heavier feel and the higher keys have a lighter feel, just like on a real piano. Higher quality digital pianos usually have scaled hammer action.
