Firearm part descriptions

Barrel: the part through which the projectile is fired. Increasing barrel length increases ATK.
   Possible barrels lengths:
   – tiny guns: 5–20 cm
   – handguns: 10–40 cm
   – long guns: 30–90 cm
   – machine guns: 20–90 cm

Action: the parts that are responsible for propelling the projectile, ejecting the casing and replacing the cartridge.
   Different types of actions:
   – pump action (PA): the gun needs to be "pumped" to eject the cartridge and insert a new one
   – semi-automatic action (SA): the gun fires one catridge per trigger pull
   – automatic action (AA): the gun will keep firing as long as the trigger is being pulled (or fires a round of for example 10 cartridges)

Igniter: the part that ignites the gunpowder (propellant) in the cartridge.

Magazine (clip): the pack that contains catridges. Recyclable.
   Sizes:
   – tiny (for tiny guns)
   – small (for handguns)
   – medium (for long guns)
   – large (for machine guns)

Chamber: the place into which a magazine is put. Sizes vary according to the gun type and magazine.

Cartridge: comprises casing, propellant, primer and the projectile itself (bullet). Casing recyclable. There are several different kinds of propellants and bullets.

Safety: a mechanism that prevents accidental firing.

Silencer: a mechanism that prevents worsening of the user's hearing.

Improving guns:
better rifling
better controlling of the propelling
multiple barrels?
special silencers
