Gun
Shoots projectiles fast
A gun is a weapon that fires projectiles through a tube—from handguns to cannons.
Non-weapon guns retain the shape or mechanism: glue gun, laser gun.
To jump the gun is to start too soon, from the starting pistol in races.
To gun someone down is to shoot them.
To be gunning for something is to pursue it aggressively.
