What is the difference between different guns like shotguns handguns and revolvers?
Generally speaking, shotguns are designed to be fired from the shoulder. (You place the butt of the gun against your shoulder to fire it). A shotgun is considered a "long gun" and is much longer than a handgun, and fires a different type of ammunition.
A revolver is a handgun, but I'll assume you meant pistol and revolvers. A revolver has a rotating cylinder that holds normally somewhere between about 5 and 7 rounds of ammunition in multiple chambers, although some hold more. Each time the trigger is pulled, a fresh round rotates in line with the barrel so it can be fire.
A (semiautomatic) pistol is fed by a magazine and has a reciprocating slide that ejects the empty casing and then loads a new cartridge into the chamber (it only has one chamber, not multiple.
That's kind of the short version. If you want more information, feel free to email me.
