Answer for screen readers
The forward motion of the bullet out of the shell due to gas expansion from burning gunpowder is described as 'direct motion'.
More Information
In ballistics, 'direct motion' refers to the initial propulsion of a bullet due to the rapid expansion of gases produced by burning gunpowder. This is a part of internal or initial ballistics, which studies the processes within a firearm up to the point the bullet exits the barrel.
Tips
A common mistake is to confuse direct motion with external ballistics, which deals with projectile flight after leaving the barrel.
