Skeet (shotgun).
Trap (shotgun).
Sporting clays (shotgun).
Smallbore target rifle.
Centerfire ("high-power&quot target rifle.
Centerfire bullseye pistol.
Rimfire bullseye pistol.
IDPA pistol.
IPSC pistol.
Three-gun (requires pistol, rifle, shotgun).
Cowboy action (requires revolver, rifle, shotgun).
Self-defense in the home (can be rifle, pistol, or shotgun).
Concealed carry (small handgun).
Upland bird hunting.
Waterfowl hunting.
Small game hunting (rifle and/or shotgun).
Large game hunting.
Dangerous game hunting.

That's arguably 23 different firearms. Obviously there is some overlap, but I'm not counting back-ups and spares.
