Parts+of+the+Guns

Main parts that make up a gun! **__HOME__** **//Bullets-//** A bullet is a projectile propelled by a firearm, sling, or air gun. Bullets do not normally contain explosives, but damage the intended target by impact and penetration. The word "bullet" is sometimes used to refer to ammunition generally, or to a cartridge, which is a combination of the bullet, case/shell, powder, and primer.

﻿  **//Trigger-//** A **trigger**  is a mechanism that actuates the firing sequence of firearms, or a power tool.Triggers almost universally consist of levers or buttons actuated by the index finger. Rare variations use the thumb or weak fingers to actuate the trigger.



**//Suppressor-//** A **suppressor** , **sound suppressor** , **sound moderator** , or **silencer** <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">, is a device attached to or part of the barrel of a firearm which reduces the amount of noise and flash generated by firing the weapon.A suppressor is usually a metal cylinder with internal mechanisms to reduce the sound of firing by slowing the escaping propellant gas and sometimes by reducing the velocity of the bullet. Early suppressors were created around the beginning of the 20th century by several inventors.



<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">**//Sights-//** <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">A <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">**sight** <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> is an optical device used to assist aim by guiding the eye and aligning it with a weapon or other item to be pointed. Various forms of sights exist, such as iron sights, laser sights, reflex sights, and telescopic sights. For aircraft use there are also reflector sights and gyro gun sights. Sights are used in telescopes, firearms, and in various measuring instruments.

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">**Iron** <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">- <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">**Iron sights** <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> are a system of aligned markers used to assist in the aiming of a device such as a <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">__[|firearm]__ <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">, crossbow, or telescope, and exclude the use of optics as in a scope. Iron sights are typically composed of two component sights, formed by metal blades.

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">**Laser-** <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The as in most firearms has been used as a tool to enhance the targeting of other weapon systems. For example, a <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">//laser sight// <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> is a small, usually visible-light laser placed on a handgun or a rifle and aligned to emit a beam parallel to the barrel. Since a laser beam by definition has low divergence, the laser light appears as a small spot even at long distances; the user places the spot on the desired target and the barrel of the gun is aligned. Most laser sights use a red laser diode. Others use an infrared diode to produce a dot invisible to the naked human eye but detectable with night vision devices. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000080; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 0px; overflow: hidden; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">**Reflex- Reflex sights Reflex sights** <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> are optical or computing sights that reflect a reticle image (or images) onto a combining glass for superimposition on the target. Reflex sights are most commonly configured as non- <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">__magnifying firearm sights__ <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">, but they are also used to aid targeting on other devices, such as telescopes and point-and-shoot digital cameras. Reflex sights should not be confused with laser sights, which actually project a point of light directly onto a target.

Hunting is also a shooting sport, shooting live pigeons used was an Olympic event once in the 1900’s. The shooting sport is categorized by the type of firearm and target that is used in the competition. Shooting sports involve a various amount of guns like shotguns and rifles.

Shooting ranges can be indoor or outdoor and possibly restricted to certain types of firearms, e.g. handguns only or rifles, or they can specialize in certain shooting sports.
