All the back-n-forth about use of "weapon" vs. "gun" takes me back to the oft-quoted 'Nam era Fort Knox Sgt. that, upon hearing a recruit use the term "gun" when referring to his shoulder arm, would point at the rifle and rattle off, "This is your weapon." Upon completing that defining phrase, he'd re-direct his index finger toward the area of a particular section of the Pvt.'s body and say, "That is your gun." Pointing again at the rifle, he'd follow up with, "This one's for fightin."Shifting his pointer finger once again to the direction of the earlier-indicated body part, he'd conclude with, "That one's for fun."
