Busting caps

Shooting firearms, either for fun or practice, or in a violent altercation.

"Man, I'm bored. Let's go down to the range and bust some caps."

"As soon as the hajiis tripped the mine, we all started busting caps to port. I fired three magazines before we cleared the block."

Bust Cap

From a drug induced study session with several linguists somewhere in Arizona.
Bust-Cap, an exclusive language used when all other attempt at a covert language has failed, and the chick thinks she knows whats going down.

"Bust cap a whackin'"
"Bust it"
"Fuckin' DT times like 20, YK till tommorow morning"
"Chinnie!"

bust a cap

To fire a gun (military slang from the days of percussion cap and ball firearms before the manufacture of individual cartidges consisting of a metal casing holding a bullet, gunpowder and a primer that fired when struck by a firing pin or hammer.)

We heard some people busting caps a couple of klicks up the trail.

bust a cap

This is not a new phrase as much of the Rap culture would like us to believe. Instead it is an old phrase to shoot someone. Reference to cap is a word for powder cap used in percussion guns popular in the old west. This phrase is used in the 1969 movie titled "True Grit" with John Wayne, Glen Campbell, Dennis Hopper and Robert Duvall.

Line by Ned Pepper (played by Robert Duvall) "I never busted a cap (bust a cap) on a woman or nobody under sixteen. But I'll do it."

bust a cap

I found this reference to "bust a cap" in a 1951 Gene Autry novel. Gene Autry and the Golden Ladder Gang by W. H. Hutchinson. Whitman 2349

"I guess it is," said Pres as he regretfully fondled the stock of his rifle, "but I surelee hope that somebody gives me a little excuse to bust a cap in their direction."
-- Gene Autry and the Golden Ladder Gang 1951
