boomsticks
Slang for guns
Boomsticks is slang for firearms, especially shotguns or other loud, powerful guns.
The term emphasizes the explosive sound and force: He keeps a boomstick under the bed for home defense.
The word gained popularity from the film *Army of Darkness*, where the protagonist calls his shotgun "my boomstick."
