PEACH GUARDIANS SUPERMACY

SMGP "Pill" by @briandraws and SMGL:E by: @libbytwq thanks you to let me collect your peaches, now they're 3/silly

Unfortunately my cat is missing and my heart is broken so I will have to extend the deadline of the Secret Magical Gift Swap sign up to the 3rd of December.

Many games and movies talk about gun types willy-nilly without explaining what they are exactly! So that'll be my first post.

Pistols A "pistol" generally means any kind of handgun (i.e. a gun you can use with one hand). While movie and game characters often do just that, realistically you do want to hold them with both hands for accuracy. Some definitions exclude revolvers or derringers, but people generally include them in the definition.

Revolvers Revolvers are guns with a cylinder that holds multiple cartridges. The cylinder revolves (spins) to fire each bullet in turn. While most revolvers are handguns, there's long guns too, such as revolver shotguns, rifles, and grenade launchers.

Rifles What distinguishes a rifle is rifling — grooves cut into the barrel to make the gun more precise. The first rifles needed to be reloaded after each shot, but modern rifles can keep firing. Even fully automatic rifles are not designed to keep firing a lot though; they're made for firing in short bursts.

Machine Guns A machine gun is a fully automatic rifled gun that is designed for sustained fire. Machine guns come in several varieties which are basically weight classes; a Light machine gun can be used by one person, a Medium machine gun is better used with a tripod and assistants, and a Heavy machine gun needs a weapon platform.

Submachine Guns (SMGs) These are not considered machine guns proper; while they are also designed for continuous fire, SMGs use handgun-sized bullets instead of rifle-sized ones.
