Pet peeve about firearm posts: Please don't say that you are "shooting" a "gun" when you mean to communicate that you are FIRING a RIFLE, a PISTOL or a REVOLVER.

Even the most raw recruit learns the vocabulary in the first day that he is issued with a firearm.

You SHOOT a target or you SHOOT another object, which on some (very) rare occasion may be a firearm, perhaps in another person's grip. It's only been shot if the round hits it. You would never purposely shoot your own weapon.

A gun is generally a weapon that requires a crew to operate, not a single operator. Even though pistols and revolvers have rifled barrels, they have descriptions that roll easily off the tongue. Say "gun" if you must, even in a setting that's supposed to be educational or at least, informative and we can overlook it.

But please don't say you are "shooting" it. That's just crass.

Isn't a revolver a type of pistol?

Know what? I'll grant you that. We bitch about semantics enough we should probably get that right. That being said, I plan to go shoot some gunboolits out of my assault clips this week.
