This section came about as a result of the sheer number of times I answered these types of questions on several different forums. Rather than re-write it every time it comes up in the future, I figured I’d post it for general viewing.
So, what is this?
This is basic information about firearms which is aimed (the information, not the firearms) at writers who want to get things right. If you are a writer, or just have an interest in the basics of how firearms work, I encourage you to look around. If you already know this stuff, and want to fact check me, I welcome that as well.
