On behalf of Gun Wiki, thanks for stopping by and we hope you find a home here, SgtMajGW G. GloverSemper Fi. Most guns use compressed gas confined by the barrel to propel the bullet up to high speed, though devices operating in other ways are sometimes called guns. We are maintaining 278 articles and 3,147 files since December 2011.. Log In Sign Up. Welcome to the Six Guns Wiki, the #1 source of information about Six Guns!. As in an internal combustion engine, the combustion propagates by deflagration rather than by detonation, and the optimal gunpowder, like the optimal motor fuel, is resistant to detonation. [4][5][6][full citation needed], An early type of firearm (or portable gun) is the fire lance, a black-powder–filled tube attached to the end of a spear and used as a flamethrower; shrapnel was sometimes placed in the barrel so that it would fly out together with the flames. It was the first firearm which bridges the gap between long range rifles, machine guns, and short range sub-machine guns. [2] The Chinese had previously invented gunpowder in the 9th century. Some guns—such as shotguns—report the weapon's gauge (which is the number of shot pellets having the same diameter as the bore produced from one English pound (454g) of lead) or—as in some British ordnance—the weight of the weapon's usual projectile. It's "rpm", not "rounds/min". This principle is similar to that of internal combustion engines, except that the bullet leaves the barrel, while the piston transfers its motion to other parts and returns down the cylinder.
