Most guns come into the possession of criminals from being stolen from homes (same in the US, I recall).
I don't know, my dad has been shot at with an assortment of various weapons. I'll see if I can dig up the stats to the types of weapons.

As far as how criminals get weapons, I don't think they steal from a home. The gun safe we have is near impossible to break into, and its not like we spent a lot of money on it (my dad is cheap sometimes lol). Pawn shops are the real culprit. Doesn't matter what you buy there -- guns, tools, musical instrument -- they are probably all stolen. And now with internet purchases, I wonder if places like e-bay is going to be just as bad.
