Types of Guns
Semi-Automatic Pistol
A semi-automatic pistol is a type of handgun which utilizes the energy of the fired cartridge to cycle the action of the gun and advance the next available cartridge into position for firing. One round is fired each time the trigger of a semi-automatic pistol is pulled.

Revolver
A revolver (also called a six shooter or a wheel gun) is a repeating handgun that has a revolving cylinder containing multiple chambers (each holding a single cartridge) and at least one barrel for firing. Before firing a round, the hammer is cocked and the cylinder rotates partially, indexing one of the cylinder chambers into alignment with the barrel, which allows the bullet to be fired through the bore.
Long Gun
A long gun is a category of firearms with longer barrels than most other types. In small arms, a long gun is generally designed to be held by both hands and braced against the shoulder, in contrast to a handgun, which can be fired being held with a single hand.
Types of Ammunition (Not a Bullet)
Home Defense . Protect
Self-defense ammo is exactly what it sounds like: Ammo designed to stop an attacker from advancing his attack by creating more shock to the body (by the transfer of the bullet’s energy as it expands), and a bigger wound (again, because the bullet expands). Self-defense ammunition is often known as hollow point ammo, but bullet technology has come a long way and this isn’t always the case. Some types of self-defense ammo are designed in such a way that they cause internal damage differently, like using the bullet’s rotation along with channels built into it.
Range . Target
Target ammo is exactly what it sounds like, ammunition that you practice with as you shoot at targets while at the gun range. Other names for this ammo are ball or FMJ. Both of these terms describe the ammunition itself. For example, the tip, or bullet, is shaped like a ball. FMJ, on the other hand is a designation of a specific kind of ammunition.
