Gut shots are gunshot or arrow wounds to the abdomen—painful, often fatal, and slow to kill.
In hunting, a gut shot is considered a poor hit because the animal suffers longer and the meat may be tainted.
In poker, a gut shot (or gutshot) is an inside straight draw, needing one specific card to complete the hand: I was drawing to a gut shot and missed.
