Depends on how you want to define "Type". There are muzzle loading guns that use black powder and a lead ball, and breech loaders (use cartridges). There are rim fires, like the .22 LR, and center fires, like the 30-30 or .308. There are rifles and carbines (short barreled rifles). There are heavy rifles for big games, like the 30-06, rifles for REALLY big game, like the 460 Weatherby, and light rifles for "varmints", like the .220 Swift. Many people will distinguish type by how the rifle functions. There are top break single shots, top break double barreled rifles, single shot lever actions, repeating lever actions, pumps, auto loading, and bolt actions. There are also rifle/shotgun combinations, with one rifle barrel, and one shotgun barrel. A personal favorite is the drilling- based on the German word for 3- it is a side by side shotgun, with a rifle barrel beneath the shotguns. Many were custom made by really good gunmakers, and a beautiful just to look at-
