Firearms are all devices designed for the purpose of firing ballistic devices.
On the one hand, these can be mechanical firearms such as catapults, slingshots or bows - for hunters and marksmen, however, much more interesting are firearms, or more precisely handguns. By definition, these are firearms in which a projectile is propelled through a barrel by the combustion of a pyrotechnic propellant.
The most important handguns for hunters are rifles and shotguns. Pistols and revolvers can also be used for hunting.
