Handguns- revolver, automatic, automatic revolver, single shot, machine pistol, shotgun pistol, blank pistol, tear gas pistol, flare pistol- double barreled pistols- and the list goes on. I left out pistols made to shoot underwater (Yes, really- there are some) Rifles- singleshot, 2 barrels, 3 barrels (or more) semi auto, bolt action, break action, lever action, pump action, machine gun, guns to throw ropes between ships, guns to shoot tranquilizer darts, - and the list goes on and on and.

How do you tell how old the gun is?
The old joke- you have to cut it in half, and count the rings. :) However, the real answer- there is no one way. Some guns can be dated from a serial number (Winchester rifles- Polishing Room records), but many guns never HAD serial numbers. Some can be dated by a production code (Remington rifles and shotguns) some guns by a serial number prefix (Marlin lever actions) Some can only be dated to a span of years the gun was made (Mossberg 152 rifles). I use about a dozen reference books, and another dozen public information lists- and can still only date a percentage of firearms.
