A long gun is typically any firearm that isn't a pistol, which you can fire one-handed. Long guns include rifles, carbines, shotguns, and submachine guns.
A few of the more common long guns and rifles include lever-action and bolt-action rifles, semi-automatic rifles, and shotguns.
The long rifle, also known as the longrifle, Kentucky rifle, Pennsylvania rifle, or American longrifle, is a muzzle-loading firearm used for hunting and warfare.
