TYPES OF GUNS
RIFLES
These are fired from shoulder level and contain grooves inside the barrel that cause the fired bullets to spin. This gives them a high level of accuracy for long-range shooting. SHOTGUNS
These long-barrelled guns are mostly used for shooting small and moving targets such as birds. The cartridges contain hundreds of tiny pellets. REVOLVERS
A small handgun. As bullets are fired, the cylinder holding them rotates to place a new bullet in line for firing, so several bullets can be shot before the gun needs to be reloaded. MACHINE GUNS
A machine gun is an automatic weapon that will fire bullets for as long as the trigger is pressed. Machine guns were invented for military use. STUN GUNS
These non-lethal guns deliver an electric shock of around 1,200 volts via electrodes fired on conductive wires. These are used by both the armed forces and law-enforcement agencies.
