A hunter's weapon is an important tool for hunting. The most common weapons used by hunters are a SPEAR, SHOTGUN, and RIFLE. A SPEAR is a long pole with a sharp point at one end, usually used for thrusting or throwing. A SHOTGUN is a type of firearm that fires multiple pellets at once. A RIFLE is a long gun with a barrel that has spiral grooves cut into the inside, which causes the bullet to spin as it leaves the barrel, increasing accuracy.
