Gunsmoke
Longest-airing Western serial
Gunsmoke is the smoke produced when a firearm discharges, a visible sign that a gun has been fired.
The term evokes Western frontier imagery, reinforced by the long-running American television series of that name (1955–1975).
The sheriff smelled gunsmoke before he saw the body.
