Answer 1

Read Guns and Ammo for about 3 years

Answer 2

Since you want to know all about guns and bullets, let me help you as much as I can.

There are a lot of different kinds of both guns and bullets. Even the same caliber of bullet can come in many different kinds, be it weight or style.

Whew! I'm getting exhausted just thinking about it! So much info that I've learned over the past 30 years of shooting is trying to bleed its way through my fingertips.

Here's what you really need to know about guns and bullets. One, without the other, is basically harmless. Put them together, along with a capable and willing trigger finger, and you have a dangerous tool, or weapon, depending on its purpose.

If you are shooting, it's generally best if you point the gun away from yourself. If you have a particular target, you should actually point the gun at that target. You might even try to aim. That's where the bullet comes into play. There is a team of gnomes that lives inside each cartridge. Upon being summoned by the firing pin, these gnomes run like hell, pushing the bullet out of the barrel and at said target.
The spent hull is often capable of being reused, but, alas, neither the bullet nor the gnomes can be used again.

This is just the tip of the iceburg on the immense subject of guns and bullets. After you soak this up, let me know. I'll give you a rundown on the difference between rifle bullets and shotgun shells. Different ammo, different gnomes. It's all about the gnomes. Poor little fellows.

Answer 3

First you have two types of guns. Handguns and Long guns.
Handguns: Revolvers, Automatics. Long guns: Rifles, Shotguns.

Revolvers and shotguns usually don't use stack magazines, but automatic pistols and rifles sometimes do. Pistol ammo is usually larger in diameter but shorter in length, and rifle ammo is very small in diameter and very long in length. A shotgun shell is the largest of all ammo.

Semi-auto pistols use a magazine, which holds rounds inside the gun. They usually hold 7 to 15 rounds.
Revolvers use a cylinder, which holds usually six shots.
Rifles can have anything from a single round capacity, or have a double stack removable magazine, usually holding 30 rounds.
Shotguns can be anything from a single shot break barrel design, to a removable magazine type. Pump shotguns use a tubular magazine, which holds each shell in front of the other. They usually hold anywhere from 3 to 7 shells.

A round consists of two main things: The bullet, and the cartridge. The cartridge is the tube that holds gun powder, and has a primer or small explosive in the back, with the bullet held firmly at the top of it. When the primer is hit, it explodes and ignites the gunpowder, which in turn, forces the bullet out.

I know quite a lot on the subject, but I just don't have the time to type it all.

Answer 4

A firearm is made of the following.

Propellant. The powder, black or smokeless. black is more primitive and a low powered explosive, producing velocities up to 2000fps generally. Smokeless powders(modern powder) are a propellant not an explosive and create thrust by great and controlled release of energy with velocities up to 5000fps or so.

Projectile. What gets fired out of the gun. May be a pellet-round object, generally lead or steel or bullet-any other shape, generally several times longer than it is wide.

Ignition. The means for igniting the choice of propellant. For blackpowder muzzleloaders(where everything is poured into the chambre through the muzzle end of the barrel) it goes right back to the ancient method of lighting cannon fuse hanging off the side of the gun through the early lock, wheel, flintlock, matchlock etc to percussion caps(like on a toy gun).
For cartrdige rifles it either includes a priming compound included in the manufacture of the case, which is set off when struck by a firing pin. Or a 'primer' which is a separate object placed into a special hole in the rear of the cartridge, for the same effect. Lastly there are electronically ignited cartridges as well.

Reaction chamber-where the pressure is generated to propel the projectile. Either by a blackpowder explosion or pressure peak within a smokeless cartridge case.

Delivery system. The barrel. Either smoothbore(no rifling, poor accuracy, or for shotgun pellets) or rifled- using grooves in the barrels internal metal to spin the bullet, thus creating gyroscopic stabilisation and greater accuracy(like spinning a football when you throw it).

sighting system-a means for putting the projectile on target.

furniture- added bits and pieces which make up the rest of the gun, so you can hold and fire it. Such as stocks, fore ends, slings etc.

Answer 5

Not even gunsmiths or snipers need to know it all, and I doubt anyone anywhere does know it all.

To begin your education, please identify one or more potential uses for one or more guns. The more information the better, because killing a man at 10 feet in your home is best done with a different weapon than doing the same thing at 50 feet outside. Killing a squirrel for supper at those distances require still a different solution.

There is so much info out there because there are so many uses a firearm can be put to. I have over 30 different weapons and am still shopping. I have more than one kind of ammo for almost every weapon, and different scopes add to the mix. The gun I'd use on a target a mile away is a little large and heavy to move around quickly for home defense.

What ya wanna shoot?

Answer 6

I've been shooting, and studying guns for 40 years. there is still more that I don't know than stuff that I do know.

It is an impossibility to learn "all about guns and bullets" from a single source, or in a short time.

Read various gun magazines, visit shooting ranges, talk to other gun cranks, shoot as much as possible, and as many different guns as possible. In a year or so, you will start to understand most of what you hear, and in a few more years, you can count yourself a fairly knowledgeable novice.

Answer 7

Covering just one caliber of bullets would take hours to read. There is so much information on the Internet to be had. No one knows everything about firearms.

It takes time and practice in actual use either shooting or taking care of them.

You'll get there eventually. There are many types of books to buy and no one place for all the possible information.

I wish you luck on what might be a lifetime hobby.

Answer 8

To explain the concept of firearms and bullets would take days.

Answer 9

i agree with ret. Sgt. there is so much info guns and ammo. not even on one type of gun. long arm=hunting=rifle/shotgun/muzzle loader
long arm=military=automatic/semi-automatic/bolt(sniper)
sidearm=hunting=deer
sidearm=military=auto/semi-auto

ammunition=military/hunting

there is so much info i could tell you, but i would probably run out of space.

your question is way too broad. ask another and narrow down your horizon ( not trying to be mean or anything, just trying to help you!)
