The '''gun''' is a mechanical [[weapon]] which uses expanding gas to fire a [[bullet]], [[dart]] or other projectile through a tube (its shaft). Guns are primarily defensive weapons.

In semi-automatic weapons, each pull of the trigger fires a bullet, each shot ejecting spent brass and loading new ammunition until the magazine is depleted. In fully automatic weapons, bullets will be fired as long as the trigger is depressed. Fully automatic fire will cause the gun to heat up very quickly, which can become dangerous as it can burn exposed flesh and because rounds may "cook off" or fire unexpectedly due to the chamber becoming hot enough to ignite the propellant.
