Could someone explain to the different kind of guns?

I know what a pistol and a shotgun is.

I'm confused as to the difference in between a rifle, a SMG (what's a submachine gun? Is is just a gun who fires in automatic?) a cannon and other types.

Also, what does a Ruger Super Warhawk looks like? I can't find any decent pictures of the weaponery in Shadowrun.

Thanks.
