Maybe she was in the Navy :evil:

Gun - artillery that fires projectiles at high velocity, such as naval guns (which are never referred to as cannon) or tank guns.

Are you sure she didn't say submarine weapons? Those are getting more and more common

Was probably some yahoo with a semi-auto Tec-9 that jams when you look at it funny.

I believe they think that "weapon" sounds more dramatic than a mere "gun" - and they just end up sounding ignorant, as always :rolleyes:

A friend brought his new Tech Nine over for me to take a look at. He asked "are the sights were supposed to be that way?"
I looked it over and saw that the rear sight was where it was supposed to be but the front sight was rotated about thirty degrees to the left of center.:uhoh:
No wonder gang bangers shoot sideways, that way they aren't distracted by those crappy sights.
