Did you, or did you not, fire this GUN with intent to harm my client?

Cyra tried to swing her SWORD to parry, but it was to heavy.

My neighbor, a member of the NRA since birth, has got an AK-47 fully automatic assault RIFLE.

Let 's just say that he 's the kind of guy who likes GUNS with hair triggers.
