A gun, or firearm,[2] was a deadly weapon that could fire bullets, energy blasts or other types of ammunition.
Many bad guys used guns, especially their henchmen. Also, Law Enforcement officers, as well as Military officers used guns as well.
Someone who had the skill to use a gun was called a marksman. Most guns were lethal, and in most cases one who was shot by one had a good chance of facing death. However some guns only rendered one unconscious or stunned, such as a stun ray. There are also toy guns.
When Wendy Harris discovered a diamond in Molesville, Batman said: "Great guns, it's a diamond!"[3]
