Different Types of Handguns
Handguns are a relatively recent military invention. They have been used since the late 14th century to shoot arrows more quickly and at a farther distance than throwing them. Early handguns were rather cumbersome and required that the user load each barrel by hand, but in the 19th-century revolvers were invented which allowed cartridges to be loaded simply by turning a cylinder. Today there are several different types of handguns available for sale, though revolvers are still very popular in many parts of the world.
Below are the different types of guns with their specifications but are not limited to:
