👉 A fired weapon, often referred to as a firearm or gun, is a type of weapon that uses a propellant, typically gunpowder, to propel a projectile, known as a bullet, over a distance. This mechanism involves igniting the powder within a chamber, creating a rapid expansion of gases that force the bullet out through a barrel. The design and functionality of fired weapons vary widely, from simple handguns like pistols to complex rifles and shotguns, each tailored for specific purposes such as hunting, self-defense, or military use. The core principle remains the same: a controlled explosion generates kinetic energy to launch a projectile with precision and force.
