The title of a magazine devoted to (you guessed it) guns and ammo.

L.A. Guns is a glam rock band from Los Angeles, California, originally formed in 1983 and continuing on today. During the 1980s the band's first two albums gained some commercial success, though historically the band is perhaps most noteworthy because its original members went on to form Guns N' Roses.
There are currently two bands touring as L.A. Guns, as of 2006. One fronted by Phil Lewis, the other fronted by Paul Black (featuring Tracii Guns).
In Los Angeles, during 1983. Guitarist Tracii Guns formed the L.A. Guns with singer Axl Rose, bassist Ole Beich, and drummer Rob Gardner. Axl later quit to form Hollywood Rose and was replaced by Michael Jagosz. The band demoed in 1984, but Tracii and Rob left to reform with Axl as Guns N' Roses (named after L.A Guns and Hollywood Rose, not Tracii Guns and Axl Rose) and L.A. Guns broke up. However, Tracii soon left Guns N' Roses and reformed his own band. Guns N' Roses replaced him with guitarist Slash and went on to sell millions of records.
For the third lineup of L.A. Guns, Tracii recruited Mau Maus and The Joneses drummer Paul Mars Black (who switched to vocals) and guitarist Mick Cripps (who switched to bass) and teamed up with drummer Nickey "Beat" Alexander. They were later joined by ex Dogs D'Amour first singer, Robert Stoddard. This lineup demoed and gigged in 1985 and 1986, with Black contributing to much of the material that would be recorded on their debut album.
Paul was replaced by Phil Lewis of the British band, Girl. Mick then switched to guitar when Robert left, and former member of Faster Pussycat, Kelly Nickels, was added on bass. The L.A. Guns then recorded their first album, released in 1988 on Vertigo Records, L.A. Guns. The debut album spawned the singles "One More Reason" and "Sex Action" along with many other L.A. Guns classics. On tour, Nickey was replaced by former W.A.S.P. drummer Steve Riley and this lineup remained until 1992.
In 1989, they released their second album Cocked & Loaded. It contained the smash radio and video hit, "The Ballad of Jayne" which brought the album to gold sales status (over five hundred thousand sold), this was the commercial peak of their career. The album also contained the hits, "Never Enough" and "Rip & Tear". The band also released two home videos coinciding with these two albums, "One More Reason" (1989) and "Love, Peace, & Geese" (1990).
During 1991, the band released their third album Hollywood Vampires on Polydor Records. The album failed to re-achieve the gold status of Cocked & Loaded, but did spawn a few hits such as "Kiss My Love Goodbye" and "It's Over Now". Guns participated in the supergroup Contraband the same year. The L.A. Guns released a five song EP titled Cuts in 1992 and then in 1994 their fourth album Vicious Circle, drummer Michael "Bones" Gershima played on parts of these recording as this was around this time Phil Lewis fired drummer Steve Riley. Riley later returned to the band for the Vicious Circle club tour. After this, the L.A. Guns were dropped from Polygram (Vertigo/Polydor) Records. Phil Lewis and Mick Cripps then left the band.
I bought "Cocked & Loaded", "Hollywood Vampires" and "Tales from the Strip" from L.A. Guns. These are suprisingly fun, sleazy and decent rock albums featuring cool guitar work and good singing. Guns 'n Roses fans will surely appreciate it too.

The act of men getting together camping to act like men. Drinking beers, whiskey, shooting shotguns and handguns, throwing axes, knives etc... Shotgunning for beers, beer shotgunning, cigar smoking, as much swearing as humanely possible. A back to basics camping trip to set men back in reality that they are actually men. Of course they can vent about their women, jobs or basically anything they can think of. The average Gun Camper would drink about 24 beers per day, maybe shoot 1000 rounds of 12 gauge. The food is cook over a fire. Huge knives are used to basically cut anything that needs to be opened, beer included. Shotgun are at times shot one in each hand for dramatic effect....
Viking yells are common, as is camo and loud old school rock and roll...
Man the office and my women are really getting on my nerves lately. I could use to go Gun camping and blow off some steam.
We went gun camping and I may have drink a full kegs worth of beer, but it was just to numb my shoulder from all the shot gun impact.
Dude when's the next GC I need to do some drinking and shooting....well and some serious obscene swearing...

a militant combat style that teaches efficiency in the use of gun tactics.
Developed through analysis of thousands of recorded gun fights, it was determined that the geometric distribution of antagonists in any gun battle is a statistically predictable element.
The Gun Kata treats the gun as a total weapon. Each new position representing a maximum kill zone, inflicting maximum damage on the maximum number of opponents, while keeping the defendant clear of the statistically traditional trajectories of return fire.

Nickname for the Thompson submachine gun - an automatic firearm with a distinctive drum magazine and verical foregrip.
The Tommy gun is best known for being the weapon of choice of Prohibition-era gangsters, but it was also used extensively during WWII.
Jimmy the Finger got a mouthful of lead from a Tommy gun.
Back in the war, my granddad used his Tommy gun in the trenches of Normandy.
