             There are several different types of guns muzzleloaders, shotguns, rifles, handguns, automatics, and semi-automatics. Each gun has a specific trait attributed to it like handguns are small enough to hold in your hand. Muzzleloaders load from the barrel and use black power wading and a slug (a metal bullet).
