A firearm is any gun that shoots projectiles by using high-pressure explosive force created from burning chemical propellant, typically black powder in older guns and smokeless powder in modern ones. The term is defined differently across countries both technically and legally, and a subset called "small arms" refers to lighter firearms designed to be carried and used by individuals.

Eine Feuerwaffe ist eine Schusswaffe, bei der ein Projektil mittels sich schnell ausdehnender heißer Gase, erzeugt durch Verbrennung eines entsprechenden pyrotechnischen Treibmittels (Schwarzpulver, Schießpulver, Sprengstoff etc.), durch oder aus einem Rohr oder Lauf getrieben wird. Das Spektrum an Feuerwaffen reicht von der Faustfeuerwaffe bis zu den Geschützen der schweren Artillerie. Nach den Definitionen der Physik zählen sie damit zu den thermischen Kraftkolbenmaschinen aus der Gruppe der Fluidenergiemaschinen. Aus waffentechnischer Sicht werden sie hauptsächlich in drei Gruppen betrachtet: Geschütz, Granatwaffe und Handfeuerwaffe. Sie dienen als Werkzeug in der Jagd, als Kriegswaffen, Verteidigungsmittel und Sportgerät (Handfeuerwaffen). Darüber hinaus haben sie, wie andere Waffen auch, zum Teil eine kulturelle Bedeutung.
