A gun is a ranged weapon designed to use a shooting tube (gun barrel) to launch typically solid projectiles, but can also project pressurized liquid (e.g. water guns/cannons, spray guns for painting or pressure washing, projected water disruptors, and technically also flamethrowers), gas (e.g. light-gas gun) or even charged particles (e.g. plasma gun). Solid projectiles may be free-flying (as with bullets and artillery shells) or tethered (as with Taser guns, spearguns and harpoon guns). A large-caliber gun is also referred to as a cannon.
The means of projectile propulsion vary according to designs, but are traditionally effected pneumatically by a high gas pressure contained within the barrel tube, produced either through the rapid exothermic combustion of propellants (as with firearms), or by mechanical compression (as with air guns). The high-pressure gas is introduced behind the projectile, pushing and accelerating it down the length of the tube, imparting sufficient launch velocity to sustain its further travel towards the target once the propelling gas ceases acting upon it after it exits the muzzle. Alternatively, new-concept linear motor weapons may employ an electromagnetic field to achieve acceleration, in which case the barrel may be substituted by guide rails (as in railguns) or wrapped with magnetic coils (as in coilguns).

Get the Liberty gunmug. Slang term for street drug known as 3mmc.
After the growth in popularity of research the chemical '3MMC' amongst Berlin's techno scene, partygoers affectionately named the euphoric stimulant after the explosive nature and unpredictability of the hand-held weapon.

Stop waving the gun around and rack up the lines.
I'm feeling a bit down mate, shall we get the gun out?
This party is absolutely popping, must some gun around.

Get the Gunmug. Organised criminal groups often rely on the availability of weapons to carry out their activities. . Trafficking occurs on a small scale, and the weapons trafficked are intended for either personal use or to meet specific orders.
Weapons trafficking is almost exclusively a supplementary rather than a primary source of income for the small number of organised criminal groups involved. Most groups enter the weapons-trafficking business through other criminal activity, which may offer contacts, knowledge of existing routes and infrastructure related to the smuggling of weapons.
