It says a gun is "a device or ranged weapon designed to propel a projectile using pressure or explosive force". Wouldn't this include fragmentation grenades and claymore mines?
What if it was updated to say "propel a projectile from a barrel using pressure or explosive force"? Or, since maybe that wouldn't include weapons with a chamber but no barrel, "propel a projectile from a chamber using pressure or explosive force"? Oktayey ( talk) 16:48, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
