- Rib: The raised metal strip on the top of the barrel that helps to aim the firearm.
- Chamber: The chamber is part of the barrel where the cartridge or shotshell is loaded before firing. It is typically located at the rear of the barrel and is designed to hold the cartridge or shotshell in place.

What is the rod under a gun barrel?
The rod located underneath a gun barrel is most likely the gun's forend, also known as a forestock or forearm. The forend is a part of the gun's stock and is located under the barrel. It is typically made of wood, plastic, or synthetic materials, and is designed to be gripped by the shooter's non-firing hand to provide additional support and control over the firearm. The forend can also help to protect the shooter's hand from the heat generated by firing the gun, particularly in firearms that fire rapidly or produce a significant amount of recoil. In shotguns, the forend is used to pump the firearm to eject spent shells and load new ones.
It's worth noting that there are other types of rods or tubes that can be located underneath a gun barrel, such as a cleaning rod, but these are typically only attached to the firearm temporarily for maintenance purposes and are not a permanent part of the gun's design.
