Rifles, Handguns, Shotguns, and related accessories
Rifles are shoulder fired guns with a barrel length of at least 16 inches. There are two main types of rifles; breech loaders which are loaded by the breech and muzzle loaders that are loaded by the muzzle due to having a solid breech.
There are three types of guns in the breech loader category; air rifles that use compressed air to shoot pellets, center-fires that use reloadable cartridges and rim-fires that use non-reloadable cartridges.
In the muzzle loader category there are also three types. Flint ignition has a flint that strikes against steel to make a spark that ignites a power charge, percussion cap ignitions that must be struck by a hammer to ignite the charge in the barrel, and primer ignition or center-fire where the primer must be struck by a hammer or firing pin in order to ignite in the barrel.
There are several accessories for rifles that can enhance performance and comfort while shooting. Slings are a practical way to carry your rifle and can be used in a variety of positions. Brass catchers can be added to your rifle to collect the hot brass casings upon ejection, and is easily emptied by using a Velcro closure. There are a multitude of sights and scopes that can be purchased as well as mountings, bipods or monopods and tactical lights.
Shotguns are smooth-bored firearms that come in a wide variety of sizes, with
barrel lengths ranging from 24 to 24 inches, with bores of .22 inch up to 2 inch in diameter. The most popular gauges are 12 and 20, although there are other gauges available. Various operating mechanisms include break-action such as the double-barrel; pump-action with rounds fed in one by one and then pushed forward and semi-automatic shotguns that automatically eject the spent shells and reload a new shell into the chamber.
The ammunitions for shotguns are shotgun shells and shotgun slugs. Shot pellets from a shotgun spread upon leaving the barrel making it easier to hit small targets in comparison to a rifle. Popular uses of shotgun shells are for hunting birds and other small game, because of the large number of projectiles per shell. Shotguns are also advantageous with still targets due to its enormous stopping power at short range.
Some accessories available for shotguns include shotshell belts for carrying shell supplies easily, recoil pads, sling adapters, fire sights for low-light situations, and high capacity magazines.
Handguns are smaller, lighter, and easier to carry than rifles and shotguns. Since using a handgun only requires one hand it leaves a handgun user with a free hand that is available in circumstances such as when a light is needed independently of the weapon. This provides better maneuverability. Revolvers are equipped

This provides better maneuverability. Revolvers are equipped
with a rotating cylinder holding multiple cartridges, while pistols use magazines and clips. Normally pistols are equipped with an autoloader that loads another cartridge from the magazine when it is fired.
Some accessories for handguns include various types of grips, from laser to wood to rubber. There are handgun scopes available, and sights ranging from non-illuminated to illuminated as well as pipe-lit sights, and holsters that come in a variety of styles and colors for you to choose from.

As with all weapons, personal safety should also be considered. Safety glasses and hearing protection should be used at all times.
