Here's another excerpt from Mutilator: Survivors in the Wasteland that may be useful for players of Mutant Epoch. This one's incomplete but wouldn't take much effort to finish it.
The numbers in brackets beside each weapon is the typical magazine capacity.
SIDEBAR: COMMON WEAPONS AND AMMUNITION
This is a list of the most common calibers of pre-cataclysm ammunition (and the firearms associated with them) that post-apocalyptic wasteland scavengers (in what was once known as North America) may come across, in order of most common to least common. Of course other types of guns and ammo exist and may be found – this list is for the purpose of general scavenging, and includes weapons used for home protection, hunting, and military use.

Semi-autos use part of the energy produced by burning cartridge powder to remove the used cartridge from the chamber, cock the hammer and load a new cartridge in the chamber, so the pistol will be ready for the next shot. Cartridges are usually fed from a box magazine, located in the pistol's handle. Box magazines may contain up to 15 cartridges or more in single or double columns, depending on the pistol model, and are easy and quick to reload.
Revolvers got their name from the rotating (or Revolving) cylinder, which contains cartridges. Usually the cylinder holds from 5 to 7 loads. Loads in the cylinder may be reloaded in 2 ways (depending on revolver design) - one by one or all simultaneously - when the cylinder is switched to the side or when the is frame "broke open."
