5 TOP FACTS TYPES OF GUN

1  Synonymous with the Winchester Rifl e, this action allowed the likes of Billy the Kid to lever new rounds from a sealed tubular magazine, all in one movement. Lever-action

2  The double-barrelled shotgun is the prime example of ‘break-open’ in action; whereby barrels are hinged to expose the breech and ready new rounds. Giving it both barrels

3  Gatling’s gun housed upwards of ten barrels, each with its own breech and firing pin, loaded upon cranked rotation by a gravity-fed ammunition hopper. 2,000 rounds a minute

4  The chain gun has a single barrel and employs an electric motor to drive a chain that is connected to the bolt, which moves back and forth to reload the weapon. Unchained melody

5  The pump-action is most often found in repeating rifl es and shotguns; with a hand grip that is pumped back and forth that strips the spent shell and loads a fresh round.Pump up the volume!
