Yes, shooting a gun involves the conversion of mechanical energy into kinetic energy when the trigger is pulled, causing the firing pin to strike the primer in the bullet cartridge, igniting the propellant, which then propels the bullet out of the barrel.
No, a loaded gun is an example of potential energy, specifically stored mechanical energy due to its position. Once fired, the bullet will exhibit kinetic energy as it moves through space.
When shooting an arrow, the primary sources of energy used are mechanical energy from the archer's muscles and potential energy stored in the bow's limbs when it is drawn. This potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as the bowstring is released, propelling the arrow forward.
Professions that calculate mechanical energy include mechanical engineers, physicists, and energy analysts. They analyze the movement and interactions of mechanical systems to determine the amount of kinetic and potential energy present in the system.
No, it is not possible for a person to have zero mechanical energy. Mechanical energy is the sum of an object's kinetic and potential energy, and as long as the person is in motion or has the potential to be in motion, they will have mechanical energy.
Yes, an object can have both mechanical energy and kinetic energy. Mechanical energy is the sum of an object's potential energy and kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion, whereas potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or state.
Mechanical and Kinetic
There are a few energy transformations when a gun is fired. Some of these include potential to kinetic energy, chemical to mechanical energy, and chemical to electromagnetic energy.

That is the National Shooting Sports Foundation. They promote shooting sports. Gun control attempts to prevent ownership of guns used in shooting sports. No gun= no shooting sports.
A shooting iron is a gun.
First of all, sound waves are mechanical energy. Secondly, anything that makes noise because it is moving would be an example of mechanical energy turning into "sound energy;" like a car going down the road, a gun shot, or somebody slapping their palm against their forehead.
The question can't be answered without knowing what type of shooting and what "gun" you mean (hand gun, long gun, centerfire, rimfire, muzzle loader, etc..)
by shooting it with a gun.
practice
Depends on where the gun range is.
The Gatling gun.
