Ever stop and think about how many popular sayings originated as gun-related sayings and terminology?
Here's what I came up with off the top of my head:
"Lock, stock, and barrel"
"Faster than a speeding bullet"
"Pull the trigger"
"Drop the hammer"
"In my sights"
"Lock and load"
"Get the lead out" (actually, not sure about this one)
"Hot as a pistol"
"Going off half-cocked"
Don't know of any involving terms like M.O.A., meplat, or magazine follower, but who knows...maybe in a few years?
What other ones are there?
