Pub, do you know what a shotgun is, beyond just a gun that has been shot?
I genuinely wonder. Since Europe doesn't have the 2nd Amendment, ratified in the Bill of Rights after being co-authored by Jesus Christ, I always get the impression that none of our hilljack gun talk means anything to you.
I mean, honestly, the most common word for "gun" I've seen in French is just their cognate for "revolver". Most guns do not have revolving parts, let alone the ones for which a revolver as known in English gets its name.
In England, since gunmanship is a matter antithetical to chivalry but has to have some metaphysical link to it regardless, I can only really imagine heated, monocle-steaming discussions over the proper way to store one's museum-quality pepperboxes or matchlock blunderbusses.
