Your question is to broad in scope. Are you talking about current production? Rifles, shotguns or handguns?
Would anyone be able to help me decipher what type enfeild guns i have inherited?
Well, Enfield covers a HUGE amount of territory- several hundred years, rifles, handguns, and shotguns- with the odd machinegun thrown in for good measure. If your Enfields are muzzle loading rifles, then some of the civil war forums may be of help. If yours are bolt action military rifles, thenwww.surplusrifle.com has some good information on the SMLE rifles.
How many types of guns are there?
This cannot really be answered. There are thousands of gun types and models for different cartridges. Basic groups would include handguns, and long guns. Long guns would include rifles, shotguns, and combination rifle/shotguns. But then things multiply quickly. 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. This does not even scratch the surface on all the types of guns that have been made- and are being designed today. Visit with your local librarian, and do some reading. Have fun!

Where would the serial number be on a Springfield 22 cal Model 82 bolt action rifle?
Rifles and shotguns made prior to 1968 were not required to HAVE a serial number, and most did not. They are perfectly legal to own- I have about 2 dozen in my collection that never had a serial number.
How do you register your handgun?
In the US, most States do not have registration of ordinary rifles, shotguns and handguns. If you live in one of those states, there is no process to register a gun with anyone.
