Names for different parts of the "gun"

Hi

Could you please tell me names for the important parts of a gun--especially the "long rod" from which the bullet leaves?

It's called "the barrel," whether you're speaking of a "long gun" or a pistol.
(Eg., "double-barrel shotgun.")

Most hand guns have a trigger and a hammer, although I believe some rapid fire weapons can use the action from one discharge to fire another.
The old pistols often had a "cylinder" into which the cartridges were inserted by hand. It would automatically index with each firing to bring the next cartridge into position.
I believe most assault weapons have the cartridges in removable clip

Check out this link:

The diagram is pretty helpful for listing the parts of the gun, like the barrel which is the long rod the bullet is fired from, the slide which runs along the top of the barrel housing, the grip and trigger set-up etc.

The casual peruser might at first miss (as I did) that this is "a BB-gun."

Really only good for plinking around the house/garden.

Although they're popular among LA gangbangers cruising the freeways, randomly "shooting out" people's rear windows, they're mainly just for fun.
