pistolwhipped
Hit with handgun
Pistolwhipped (also pistol-whipped) describes being struck repeatedly with a handgun, typically on the head or face, using the weapon as a blunt instrument rather than firing it.
The term extends figuratively to mean thoroughly defeated or dominated: The home team got pistolwhipped in the second half.
As a verb, to pistolwhip someone is to beat them this way, often during a robbery or assault.
