    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_barrel

    A gun barrel is a crucial part of gun-type weapons such as small firearms, artillery pieces, and air guns. It is the straight shooting tube, usually made of rigid high-strength metal , through which a contained rapid expansion of high-pressure gas(es) is used to propel a projectile out of the front end ( muzzle ) at a high velocity.

  4. Muzzle brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muzzle_brake

    A muzzle brake or recoil compensator is a device connected to, or a feature integral (ported barrel) to the construction of, the muzzle or barrel of a firearm or cannon that is intended to redirect a portion of propellant gases to counter recoil and unwanted muzzle rise. [1] Barrels with an integral muzzle brake are often said to be ported.

    Handguard. A handguard (also known as the forend or forearm) on firearms is a barrel shroud specifically designed to allow the user to grip the front of the gun. It provides a safe heat-insulated surface for the user's hand to firmly hold onto without needing to worry about getting burned by the barrel, which may become very hot when firing.

  9. Spray painting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spray_painting

    The fluid pressure is provided by an airless pump, which allows much heavier materials to be sprayed than is possible with an air spray gun. Compressed air is introduced into the spray via an air nozzle (sometimes called air cap) similar to a standard conventional spray gun. The addition of compressed air improves the fineness of atomization.
