👉 A shooting weapon, commonly known as a firearm, is a device designed to propel projectiles, typically bullets, at high velocities. These weapons can vary widely in design, from handguns like pistols and revolvers to rifles and shotguns. They generally consist of a barrel for guiding the projectile, a chamber to hold and fire the ammunition, and mechanisms such as the trigger or button that initiates the firing process. The type of weapon and its specific features, like caliber, magazine capacity, and safety mechanisms, determine its intended use and effectiveness in different situations.
