	Submachine gun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A submachine gun is a firearm that combines the automatic fire of a machine gun with the ammunition of a pistol, and is usually between the two in weight and size.
		Prominent recent examples of the submachine gun are the Israel Military Industries Uzi submachine gun, the Heckler and Koch MP5 series, the Ingram MAC-10, the Skorpion, the Sterling and the FN P90 (itself part of a new generation of 'personal defence weapons', firing cartridges intermediate in power between a pistol and assault rifle round).
		Submachine guns lend themselves to moderation with suppressors, particularly so in cases where the weapon is loaded with subsonic ammunition.

	Magic gun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Magic guns typically take the form of a handgun or carbine that either fires magical energy or ammunition or is otherwise enhanced or enchanted so as to enhance its normal properties.
		Magic guns, also called spellguns or casters (presumably short for "spellcaster"), are an element of science fantasy (fantasy/science fiction) that combines firearms and magic (or some other supernatural power) to create a weapon with properties of both.
		Some magic guns work on special cartridges or magical ammunition, and thus need to be normally reloaded, while others have inherent power or draw power from their user or the environment.

	Machine gun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A 7.62 mm GAU-17 gatling gun of the U.S. Navy
		Medium and heavy machine guns are either mounted on a tripod or on a vehicle; when carried on foot, the machine gun and associated equipment (tripod, ammunition, spare barrels) require additional crew members.
		Heavy guns based on the Maxim such as the Vickers machine gun were joined by many other machine weapons, which mostly had their start in the early 20th century.

	BB gun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A compressed gas BB gun usually has a revolver style loading mechanism that rotates after every shot, or, in the case of some BB pistols, a spring magazine that is loaded into the pistol grip.
		BB guns can also utilize hand pumps that allow for air from the atmosphere to be compressed and utilized in a similar manner to previously compressed gases.
		BB is often mistaken to stand for "ball bearing", which BB ammunition resembles, but there is little to suggest that this connection is intentional.

	Sten - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Sten (or Sten gun) was a family of British, 9 mm submachine guns used heavily by the British Empire and Commonwealth forces throughout World War II and the Korean War.
		Sten guns were produced in several basic marks, although the fourth was never issued and nearly half of the total produced were of the Mark II.
		Stens were airlifted by the crateload to resistance fighters and partisans throughout occupied Europe.

	Staple gun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Therefore, staples set with a staple gun retain their straight legs, and are held in place only by static friction of the legs against the compressed surrounding material, much like common nails.
		Staple guns may be driven by muscle power, electricity (previously from the mains, now also from batteries) or compressed air.
		A hammer tacker is a device somewhat similar to a staple gun, except that the mechanical energy from the user's muscles is stored — as in a hammer— as momentum of the gun itself, rather than as compression of an internal spring.

	Voltayre's ENCYCLOPEDIA XENOBIOLOGICA: Phased Plasma Gun (PPG)
		When the gas is in a plasma state, it is "fired" down the barrel of the gun by the sequential activation of electromagnets in the barrel.
		Upon impact, the magnetic field is broken and the plasma energy is released.
		PPGs are constructed from very durable alloys that can withstand the stress of the extremes of temperature from repeated use.

	Maxim gun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A picture of the period depicts a Maxim gun mounted on tachanka, a horse-drawn carriage along with the gunner, firing backwards at a pursuing White Army regiment.
		The Maxim gun played a major role in the swift European colonization of Africa in the late 19th century.
		The Vickers machine gun was produced for export available in most of the different calibres and cartridges used by countries around the world, and including a large caliber (.50 inch) as used on Royal Navy warships.

	Light gun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The user of the light gun notices little or nothing, because the period in which the screen is blank is very short.
		A positional gun is a gun mounted to the cabinet on a swivel that allows the player to aim the gun.
		A positional gun is effectively an analog stick that records the position of the gun to determine where the player is aiming.

	Beam gun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Beam guns can be poorly defined as generic energy weapons (like phasers) or very specifically and tightly defined (like the "mega particle" firing "mega beam cannons" in Gundam), which operate using the series's quintessential Minovsky particles, Minovsky Physics being the drive behind all the superscience there.
		Beam weapons typically take one of many forms: Beam guns, beam cannons and beam rifles depending on whether they are small or large fixed mounts (beam guns and beam cannons) or hand-held mecha weapons (beam rifles).
		"Beam guns" are typically energy weapons that in some way do not behave like classical lasers or particle beams - the beam travelling at less than the speed of light, off-axis visibility (especially in space), and visible barrel recoil are typical non-laser-like properties found in beam guns.

	Dahlgren Guns
		Dahlgren guns were very effective weapons against ships and coastal fortifications and were placed on many of the new federal ironclads; the Monitor used two 11-inch Dahlgrens during its battle with the Merrimack in Hampton Roads, VA.
		Though Dahlgren designed several classes of guns, he is best known for the massive smoothbore iron canon cast in the distinctive "soda bottle" shape that provided extra-thick walls at the breech of the gun.
		Fascinating Fact: Only one 20-inch Dahlgren gun was produced, but it was never used in the war.

		The tube pictured here is actually a 4.4-inch Sawyer rifle made from a 32-pounder Dahlgren gun block, the only known survivor with Dahlgren's original 32-pounder profile designed in 1855.
		A similar X-inch Dahlgren solid shot gun, having a straight muzzle and weighing 16,500, was designed and 29 made 1862-65.
		While a 5.1-inch (50-pounder) Dahlgren rifle, a 6-inch (80-pounder) Dahlgren rifle, a 6.4-inch (100-pounder) Dahlgren rifle, a 7.5-inch (50-pounder) Dahlgren rifle, and an 8-inch Dahlgren rifle were also designed and some made, none proved as successful as Dahlgren's shell guns.

	Air gun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Spring-piston air guns are able to achieve muzzle velocities near the speed of sound from a single stroke of a cocking lever or the barrel itself.
		Spring guns are typically cocked by a mechanism is which the gun is hinged at the mid-point (called a break barrel), with the barrel serving as a cocking lever.
		Modern reservoir guns in larger calibers (6 to 9 mm) are often used for hunting small game in the U.S. The multi-pump and CO pneumatics have been popular in the United States, where they are known as "BB guns" or "pellet guns," depending upon the type of projectile used.

	Chain gun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Other examples of chain guns include the M230 30 mm Cannon, which is standard equipment on the Apache helicopter, as well as the Bushmaster II 30 mm, and the Bushmaster III 35/50 mm Chain gun.
		A chain gun is a type of machine gun or autocannon that uses an external source of power, rather than recoil, to cycle the weapon.
		It is a common misnomer to refer to Gatling guns (rotary cannons) as chain guns.

	Owen Gun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Owen Gun, which was known officially as the Owen Machine Carbine, was an Australian submachine gun designed by Evelyn (Evo) Owen in 1939.
		Evo Owen, an inventor from Wollongong, was 24 in July 1939 when he presented his prototype.22 calibre "Machine Carbine" to ordnance officers at the Victoria Barracks in Sydney.
		The gun was rejected because the Australian Army at the time did not recognize the value of the submachine gun and did not accept them for service.

	Needle gun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The gun was the invention of the gunsmith Johann Nikolaus von Dreyse (1787—1867), who, beginning in 1824, had conducted multiple experiments, and in 1836 produced the complete needle-gun.
		The gun saw its heaviest use in the Austro-Prussian War of 1866 and the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71.
		The needle gun first made its appearance in street fighting in Dresden during the revolt of May 1849.

	Long gun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Long guns are at the opposite end of the firearm size spectrum from derringers and handguns, and are longer than carbines.
		Shotguns are long guns, but shoot many tiny projectiles at once and have poor accuracy at all but close range, where the scattering, volume and destructiveness of the blast make up for the poor accuracy.
		In historical navy usage, a long gun was the standard type of cannon mounted by a sailing vessel, called such to distinguish it from the much shorter carronades.

	Light gas gun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Light gas guns have been built that are capable of propelling projectiles at speeds of up to 7000 m/s--over 5 times the velocity of which small-bore firearms are capable.
		The limiting factor on the speed of an airgun, firearm, or light gas gun is the speed of sound in the working fluid--the air, burning gunpowder, or a light gas.
		In a light gas gun, the piston is powered by a chemical reaction (usually gunpowder), and the working fluid is a lighter gas, such as helium or hydrogen (hydrogen offers the best performance, as explained below, but helium is much safer to work with).

	Gun Kata - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		"Kata," known in some martial arts as "forms," are pre-determined routines of attacks, blocks and movements that simulate a many-on-one engagement; kata are more of a ritualized dance, as opposed to the open improvisation of "kumite" (sparring).
		Gun Kata is a type of "fake fu," since some moves closely resemble kung fu and also Japanese kata-based martial arts.
		The Gun Kata treats the gun as a total weapon, each fluid position representing a maximum kill zone, inflicting maximum damage on the maximum number of opponents, while keeping the defender clear of the statistically-traditional trajectories of return fire.

	Gatling gun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Gatling gun was largely replaced after the development of the gas or recoil blowback concept, which is the basis of most modern machine guns.
		Gatling guns were used by the US side during the Spanish-American War, most notably during the battle of San Juan Hill.
		The Gatling gun cameoed in the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie Predator where the character played by Jesse Ventura was armed with a M134 Minigun, although it would be impossible for a single person to actually carry and fire the Minigun because of the recoil.

	Electroshock gun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Electroshock guns are generally used for self-defense, or by law enforcement to subdue, for example, an out-of-control prisoner.
		An electro-shock gun, also referred to as a stun-gun or in the case of the projectile enabled Taser, are used for subduing a body by administering electric shock to disrupt superficial muscle functions.
		Prototype stun guns exist which replace the solid wire with a stream of conductive liquid (essentially salty water) which offers the range of a taser (or better) and the possibility of multiple shots, though the water tank makes it much more bulky.

		His preparation method was the first to be widely imitated - one part of fine cotton wool to be immersed in fifteen parts of an equal mix of sulfuric and nitric acids.
		After two minutes the cotton was removed and placed in cold water and washed to set the esterification level and remove all acid residue.
		Further research indicated that the key was the very careful preparation of the cotton: unless it was very well cleaned and dried it was liable to explode spontaneously.
