Meaning of a GUN


My first offering to you...the meaning of a gun.

There are only 4 out of 10 people around the globe knows the exact meaning of gun. 3 of them considers it as a weapon and only 1 as evil.

Evil? well let us just study the guns' terminology...In modern parlance, a gun is a projectile weapon using a hollow, tubular barrel with a closed end—the breech—as the means for directing the projectile as well as other purposes—an expansion chamber for propellant, stabilizing the projectile's trajectory, aiming, etc.—and assumes a generally flat trajectory for the projectile.

The use of gun is interchangeable with cannon as it was borrowed from the 15th century French language.

All evil that I can see here is the interchangeable terms from the old French language....Evil in a sense that it corrupts the people's mind in thinking what is the correct term to be used in this premise..."May I borrow your (Cannon) instead of gun...."

Anyway...guns for me is not evil at all...it is the people who carries such mindset thinking that a gun is work of evil.

GUNS....Almighty

Well guns are all mighty indeed. They can be a source of power. A weapon that can manipulate people due to fear. But I think let us not treat this as evil but as our friend. But in military it is considered as a wife...a lifetime partner...

But even though how big or small they are it cannot kill people. They are only things in our life that offers great opportunities. Opportunity to excel in a career (pistol shooting), enjoy leisure (hunting, soft air competition), and trade.

Here we can make some studies regarding guns of our time and I can offer some overviews on guns.
