Few questions about raking, pick guns, bumping, handles etc.

Sorry for my ignorance, but as a newbie I actually have few questions that will most surelly be a waste of time answering for you, but I am pushed forward by curiosity, so here they go:
I understand the theory behind SPP but how do pick guns work? Do they just move all the pins (including the binding pin) up and down until it goes set?
Is that the same principle as raking or bumping?
And what do handles (of picks) affect? Feedback? Can there be a problem with using interchangable handle or possibly no handle at all?

Thanks for your time, if you are gonna give some to me.

Everyone who eats potatoes eventually dies. Therefore potatoes are poisonous.
