-How would I make a hollow barrel?

May be an easier way, but...
Make a cylinder, go into edit mod
Select the two inside vertices in the middle of each end, and delete
You now have an hollow barrel with no thickness
select all
Press E, and select region
Without moving the area you are extruding, click to place, then scale it to the thickness you need

-How would I make a gun more rounded?

Forget where it is, but try bevel

What does that mean and thanks?

It bevels things.

I think it's in the scripts window

Ok but how?

When I erase the vertices it erases the 2 bottom things not the middle things

Make sure you're selecting vertices and not faces or edges, and make sure when you delete you select vertices if it asks

As for scripts, in the upper left corner of the buttons window (on the bottom, with all the buttons) theres a button that looks like two rectangles, click that and change to scripts window, then click scripts and look in there.

I don't have time to download and install blender and take screenshots

On the very bottom left of the 3d-view, there's a small display of the 3 axis, XYZ, each in different colors.
Directly under that is a button that if you click you can change the 3d view to another view.

S?



Just delete the one vertice in the center of the end 
       .

The red one. Then select all of the vertices at the one end. Extrude with E, then scale, the extrude backwards, into the barrel.
