gun room

Naval officers' mess

A gun room is a storage space for firearms, typically a secure room in a home where guns and ammunition are kept.

In naval usage, particularly British, the gun room is a compartment on a warship serving as quarters and mess for junior officers and midshipmen—historically located near the ship's guns.
