A gun, or more properly a firearm, is a tool designed to accelerate an object (the projectile) to a relatively high velocity, and propel it with a significant degree of accuracy to impact a distant target. The target can be anything, paper, clay, steel, or a living being, etc. The expected distance to the target, the type of target, and the desired effect on the target will all shape the best type of firearm and ammunition to use, as will other concerns such as size, weight, and cost, and the shooter's abilities.
