👉 A gun is a firearm designed to propel projectiles, typically bullets, at high velocities using a system of mechanisms that store and release energy. It consists of several key components: the barrel, which houses the firing mechanism; the chamber, where the round is loaded and ignited; the trigger, which initiates the firing process; and the stock or grip, which holds the gun securely in the user's hand. The weapon's design and functionality vary widely, from handguns like pistols and revolvers to rifles and shotguns, each optimized for specific uses such as self-defense, hunting, or law enforcement. The process involves drawing the trigger to compress the cartridge, igniting the propellant, and expelling the bullet through the barrel.
