True or False: Regardless of feed type, the first step in the feeding process of a blowback firearm is the same.

In blowback firearms, the feeding process begins with the ejection of the spent cartridge case from the chamber and the subsequent feeding of a new round from the magazine into the chamber. This process starts similarly regardless of the type of ammunition or magazine system being used. The mechanics of blowback operation rely on the action of recoil to cycle the next round into the chamber. This fundamental operation remains consistent, making the statement true.

The feeding process may vary in other types of firearms, especially those using different actions like gas-operated or locked-breech systems, but in the case of blowback firearms, the initial phase of ejecting a spent cartridge and feeding a new round is uniformly executed across various feed types. Thus, the statement accurately reflects this consistent principle in blowback operation.
