gunroom

Firearms display room

A gunroom is a room for storing guns and hunting equipment in a house.

In British naval usage, it's a wardroom for junior officers, originally the compartment where small arms were kept.

The term carries associations with country estates and military tradition: The hunting party gathered in the gunroom before dawn.
