Firearms

Firearms are devices designed to propel projectiles, such as bullets, using controlled ignitions of explosive propellants. They consist of a barrel, which guides the projectile, and a firing mechanism that ignites the propellant to generate explosive force. Firearms vary widely—from handguns and rifles to shotguns—each suited for different purposes. They are used for self-defense, sport, hunting, and law enforcement. Proper handling and safety measures are essential to prevent accidents. Regulations govern their ownership, use, and sale to promote responsible usage and safety.
