Weapons
Shooting most often refers to the use of a gun, although is also used to describe the firing of a bow or crossbow.[4] A person who shoots is called a shooter.
Practical uses
Shooting is used for hunting upland game birds such as grouse or pheasant, rabbits, culling, deer hunting, or other wild game animals, or shooting pest animals. Clay pigeon shooting is meant to simulate shooting live pigeons released from traps, after doing so was banned in the United Kingdom in 1921.[6] Sometimes "shooting" refers to the hunting activity itself.[4]
Shooting is also used in warfare, self-defense, crime, and law enforcement. Duels were sometimes held using guns. Shooting without a target has applications such ascelebratory gunfire, 21-gun salute, or firing starting pistols, incapable of releasing bullets.

Restrictions
In many countries, there are restrictions on what kinds of weapon can be bought and by whom, leading to debate about how effective such measures are and the extent to which they should be applied. Attitudes in the United States are very different from those in the United Kingdom.
