gunmakers
Weapon factory workers
Gunmakers are people or companies that manufacture firearms.
The term often evokes traditional craftsmen who build weapons by hand—fitting stocks, boring barrels, engraving receivers—rather than industrial manufacturers.
The gunmakers of Birmingham supplied weapons to armies across Europe.
A single craftsman is a gunmaker.
