cross bolt, half cock, and transfer bar. the cross bolt does just that, you push a safety button and it pushes a pin into the bolt and locks it there. the half cock is usually used on lever actions and single action revolvers but is on others as well, there are 3 positions on the hammer, full forward, half cock( the position is questionable) and full cock, the half cock just makes it so the hammer is back and locked so it cant be fired, but it can be relieved by pulling the trigger, but it is far enough back so it wont get enough forward momentum to ignite the primer. the transfer bar is used almost exclusively on handguns, usually revolvers, it slides a small mental plate in front of the firing pin so the striker cant hit it.
Firearms typically have several types of safety mechanisms, including manual safeties, trigger safeties, and drop safeties. Manual safeties require the shooter to physically engage or disengage them, while trigger safeties prevent the trigger from being pulled unless certain conditions are met. Drop safeties are designed to prevent a firearm from discharging if it is dropped. Additionally, some firearms feature internal safeties that activate automatically to enhance overall safety during handling and storage.
The safety features of a 9mm handgun can vary by manufacturer and model, but common features include trigger safeties, manual safeties, and drop safeties. Trigger safeties prevent the gun from firing unless the trigger is fully pulled, while manual safeties allow the shooter to physically engage or disengage the firing mechanism. Drop safeties ensure that the firearm will not discharge if dropped, adding an extra layer of protection. Additionally, many modern 9mm handguns include loaded chamber indicators and magazine disconnect safeties for added security.
score a touchdown, or score 2 field goals. Or three safeties!
To prevent a premature or unintended discharge of the firearm. It does NOT replace common sense.
Depends on the type of firearm. Some on the slide, some on the grip, etc.. Additionally, many modern handguns don't have external, manually operated safeties. On some guns, the safety mechanisms are internal.

No, all guns do not have safeties. There are tens of thousands of different gun models, so it is impossible to say (in a brief answer) which ones do and don't. In GENERAL, most revolvers do not have safeties. Many single shot firearms do not (some do). The Glock auto pistol does not. Many lever action rifles with an external hammer originally did not- now they do. However, the most basic safety is safe handling of a firearm- assume any gun is loaded, do not point a gun at anything you do not intend to shoot, and keep your finger OUT of the trigger guard until you are ready to shoot.
Not all rifles have safeties. While many modern rifles are equipped with safety mechanisms to prevent accidental discharges, some older models or certain designs may lack this feature. Additionally, some specialized or tactical rifles may have different types of safety systems or none at all, depending on their intended use. It's important for users to understand the specific safety features of their firearm.

They DON'T explode when you pull the pin. There are three safeties on a grenade: the safety clip, the pin and the handle. The pin is the second safety you release. When all three safeties have been released, there's a little plunger under the handle that ignites a delaying charge. When the charge burns down to the end of the fuze, it ignites a primer that causes the grenade's filler to explode.
Safeties.
"Safeties" is the plural for safety.
