Ha! I KNEW I may be picked up on that! As an ex artillery man a gun is an artillery piece, everything else was always termed a weapon. I didn't want to use the negative connotation of weapon, as I'm sure eTom would never use it in anger, and never to kill mocking birds ('cause that's a sin).

Loved that bit in the move Full Metal Jacket, EXCELLENT movie!!!
