gun
A gun is a normally tubular weapon or other device designed to discharge projectiles or other material. The projectile may be solid, liquid, gas or energy and may be free, as with bullets and artillery shells, or captive as with Taser probes and whaling harpoons. The means of projection varies according to design but is usually effected by the action of gas pressure, either produced through the rapid combustion of a propellant or compressed and stored by mechanical means, operating on the projectile inside an open-ended tube in the fashion of a piston. The confined gas accelerates the movable projectile down the length of the tube, imparting sufficient velocity to sustain the projectile's travel once the action of the gas ceases at the end of the tube or muzzle. Alternatively, acceleration via electromagnetic field generation may be employed in which case the tube may be dispensed with and a guide rail substituted.
The first devices identified as guns appeared in China around CE 1000. By the 12th century the technology was spreading through the rest of Asia, and into Europe by the 13th century.

Only bad thing is the trigger. Pull is smooth and...
Yes I did, my grandson Anthony who is eight years old. He has been crazy about guns for some time. Initially, I got him an airsoft rifle, works like a Remington pump rifle. I can remember when his fumbly fingers were first learning how to load the magazine. Later, I got him one of those Nerf...

Is it possible for a gun shop to sell an upper receiver from a complete AR separately?
I feel like they SHOULD be able to considering they can just order another upper. But besides that even, they may not even want to if they even could..
Thoughts?
