gutshoot
Shoot the abdomen
To gutshoot is to shoot someone or something in the gut—the abdomen rather than a vital organ.
A gutshot wound is particularly agonizing and often fatal without treatment, but death comes slowly: The deer was gutshot and ran half a mile before collapsing.
In poker, a gutshot is an inside straight draw—needing one specific card to complete a sequence.
