A pistol is a firearm designed to be held and operated by one hand, with the other hand optionally supporting the shooting hand. Typically, pistols have a effective range of between 30 to 40 metres and have considerably smaller magazine capacities compared to assault rifles and sub-machine guns. However, they are invaluable to hired contractors and security forces due to their ability to be concealed well and the fact that they are light to carry allowing the carrier to have more agility should a combat situation occur.
The word "pistol" is derived for the French pistole or pistolet. It is believed that these words originated from the city of Pistoia, Italy where hand-held guns (designed to be fired from horseback) were first produced in the 1540s. [1]
The tiny Walther PPK and the huge Desert Eagle may look different esthetically, but internally, they are very similar. Semi-automatic pistols all contain the same basic parts. They all have front and rear sights which are on top of the slide. The slide houses the barrel and firing mechanism which includes the firing pin, hammer, spring. To eject a casing, the pistols needs an ejector plate and an extractor. Other standard parts are the magazine and magazine catch as well as the safety switch. These are the standard parts of the majority of semi-automatic pistols.
Types
Like most types of gun, the pistol can come in many forms. Types of pistol include; single shot, multi-barreled, semi-automatic and machine pistol.
Single shot
This type of handgun was mainly seen during the time of flintlock and musket technology where the pistol was loaded with a steel ball and fired by a precusion cap. They were pretty much small, handheld cannons. However, as technology improved, so did the single shot pistol. New operating mechanisms were created and due to this they are still made today. They are often used to hunt game. An example of a single shot pistol is the Welrod.
Multi-barreled
Again, these were common during the pioneering times of the firearm. As designers looked for ways to increase fire rates, multiple barrels were added to all guns including pistols. However, nowadays there are no multi-barreled handguns around as this has evolved into the semi-automatic pistol. Some examples of multi-barreled pistols are Derringers and Duck's foot pistols. These are closer to single shot pistols rather than semi-automatic pistols. This is because you only pull the trigger once to fire and then you will need to reload, with a semi-automatic pistol, you can pull the trigger as many times until your magazine runs out of ammo without cocking or re-priming the weapon.
Semi-automatic
This was next development of the pistol. Instead of using multiple barrels which all needed to be reloaded individually, semi-automatic pistols could deliver greater fire rate and only require a few seconds to reload depending on the skill of the shooter. They work by the fired cartridge generating enough kinetic energy to force the bolt back to allow the magazine spring to push another round into the chamber. Obviously this happens pretty much instantaneously. Some very powerful pistols are gas operated, such as the Desert Eagle and the Colt 1911. The majority of pistols that the main population are familiar with are semi-automatic; a well known example is the Walther PPK.
Machine pistol
The machine pistol takes the idea of a semi-automatic action one step further. They typically have magazine capacities upwards of 20 rounds compared to the 10/12 rounds of a standard pistol. They are light and have fire rates of more than 1000 rounds per minute. However, they lack accuracy and due to their fire rate and small size, are often uncontrollable at full auto. The Ingram MAC 10 can fire 30 rounds in 3 seconds.[2] Examples of machine pistols are the Uzi pistol, Steyr TMP and the Glock 18. They are similar to semi-automatic pistols however, with increase fire rates, their internal mechanics are much more robost and they will fire from an Open bolt. There are also Semi-automatic pistols in the form of a Machine Pistol/Submachine gun that are classed as Assault Pistols.
