    Which of these is not a hand gun among the following? 

    • Revolvers

    Correct Answer
    A. Rifle
    Explanation
    A rifle is not a hand gun because it is a long-barreled firearm designed to be fired from the shoulder, while hand guns are designed to be fired with one hand. Hand guns include revolvers, pistols, and derringers, which are all smaller, handheld firearms that can be easily operated with one hand. A rifle, on the other hand, is typically larger and requires two hands to operate effectively.
