1. Jane Frazier. A pioneer of early American gun-making, Jane Frazier has a story fit for the movie screen.

Technically speaking, the term "pistol" is a hypernym generally referring to a handgun and predates the existence of the type of guns to which it is now applied as a specific term, that is: in colloquial usage it is used specifically to describe a handgun with a single integral chamber within its barrel.

In 1836, Connecticut-born gun manufacturer Samuel Colt (1814-62) received a U.S. patent for a revolver mechanism that enabled a gun to be fired multiple times without reloading. Colt founded a company to manufacture his revolving-cylinder pistol; however, sales were slow and the business floundered.

A pistol is a type of handgun. The word "pistol" first appeared in English c. 1570, when early handguns were produced in Europe, and is derived from the Middle French pistolet ( c. 1550), meaning a small gun or knife.

The AK-47 (Avtomat Kalashnikova model 1947) is often referred to as the "King of Guns" due to several factors that have contributed to its widespread recognition and reputation.

The pistol originates in the 16th century, when early handguns were produced in Europe. The English word was introduced in c. 1570 from the Middle French pistolet ( c. 1550).

The two most common types of handguns are revolvers and semi-automatic pistols, although other types such as derringers and machine pistols also see infrequent usage.

It usually fires a single projectile or bullet, and additional ammunition may be available in a revolving mechanism or magazine. Handguns may be used for target shooting, hunting small game, or personal self-defense.

Although some single-shot pistols exist, most pistols these days are semi-automatic handguns that load cartridges from a detachable magazine located in the grip. Unlike revolvers, which are typically limited to up to six or seven rounds, modern pistols can carry up to 17 rounds in a magazine.

Besides AK 203, the rifle that the Indian Army is now inducting is the Sako TRG -42 from Finland. In fact, the Sako TRG is a favourite among Special Forces worldwide. The Indian army has equipped its soldiers with sniper rifles along the Line of Control under the Northern command. The Sako TRG-42 is all about design.
