What are the types of safety on a firearm?

Firearms typically have several types of safety mechanisms, including manual safeties, trigger safeties, and drop safeties. Manual safeties require the shooter to physically engage or disengage them, while trigger safeties prevent the trigger from being pulled unless certain conditions are met. Drop safeties are designed to prevent a firearm from discharging if it is dropped. Additionally, some firearms feature internal safeties that activate automatically to enhance overall safety during handling and storage.
