//
// This is a concrete class of G4VPrimaryGenerator. It shoots a particle of given type
// to a given direction with a given kinetic energy.
// The position and time of the primary particle must be set by the corresponding
// set methods of G4VPrimaryGenerator base class, otherwise zero will be set.
//
// The FAQ to this class is for randomizing position/direction/kinetic energy of primary
// particle. But, G4ParticleGun does NOT have any way of randomization. Instead, the user's
// concrete implementation of G4VUserPrimaryGeneratorAction which transmits G4Event object
// to this particle gun can randomize these quantities and set to this particle gun before
// invoking GeneratePrimaryVertex() method.
// Note that, even if the particle gun shoots more than one particles at one invokation of
// GeneratePrimaryVertex() method, all particles have the same physical quantities. If the
// user wants to shoot two particles with different momentum, position, etc., invoke
// GeneratePrimaryVertex() method twice and set quantities on demand to the particle gun.
