gun
A gun is a ranged weapon designed to use a shooting tube (gun barrel) to launch typically solid projectiles, but can also project pressurized liquid (e.g. water guns/cannons, spray guns for painting or pressure washing, projected water disruptors, and technically also flamethrowers), gas (e.g. light-gas gun) or even charged particles (e.g. plasma gun). Solid projectiles may be free-flying (as with bullets and artillery shells) or tethered (as with Taser guns, spearguns and harpoon guns). A large-caliber gun is also referred to as a cannon.
The means of projectile propulsion vary according to designs, but are traditionally effected pneumatically by a high gas pressure contained within the barrel tube, produced either through the rapid exothermic combustion of propellants (as with firearms), or by mechanical compression (as with air guns). The high-pressure gas is introduced behind the projectile, pushing and accelerating it down the length of the tube, imparting sufficient launch velocity to sustain its further travel towards the target once the propelling gas ceases acting upon it after it exits the muzzle. Alternatively, new-concept linear motor weapons may employ an electromagnetic field to achieve acceleration, in which case the barrel may be substituted by guide rails (as in railguns) or wrapped with magnetic coils (as in coilguns).
The first devices identified as guns or proto-guns appeared in China from around CE 1000. By the end of the 13th century, they had become "true guns," metal barrel firearms that fired single projectiles which occluded the barrel. Gunpowder and gun technology spread throughout Eurasia during the 14th century.

S&W 1854 Lever action rifle
Lever guns are cool and useful especially when you add some modern touches to a classic design.
My first lever gun is a Rossi R92 Triple Black in 44 Mag.
It has usual Rossi faults like a loose chamber and slow barrel twist. Regardless it is fun to shoot.
The new...

Have to ask, this area of the country used to be full of firearms enthusiasts? The southwest used to be the quintessential ‘gun zone’ in modern America. WTF happened?
There are plenty of politics in our country, but guns used to be the thing that everyone in this region could agree on and...

Got this via email last night. I filled it out and added some words. I know my Senator, worm breath Kelly will vote to steal our rights. Sure hope we can get the slug out of office in the next election.
