From China’s Fire Lance in the 10th century,
a Gun is a weapon incorporating a metal tube from which bullets, or other missiles, are propelled by an explosive force. More than just a weapon of destruction, guns are also used for sports and games, with toys using water, firecrackers or Nerf pellets for ammunition.
Shooting Sports have been included in the Olympics since 1896. For the Schlegel Winter Olympics, Today’s Resident Athletes will be stepping up to take their shot with a Nerf Gun at the balanced cups for the Shooting Competition.
As any gun can be dangerous, I referred to the weapon without physical projectiles. A cartoon of a young girl wearing a LaserTag Vest shows two ASL hand signs for GUN.
The L shape is held horizontally in front of the chest (index and middle finger mimicking the gun barrel). The thumb is bent and straightened on the index finger repeatedly, like cocking the hammer of a gun.
