Talk:cannon

Also (dated?) slang for a normal gun?

In an old American radio show (Inner Sanctum, episode "Murder Off the Record") I just heard "cannon" used as slang for a gun, i.e. a hoodlum's handgun, not a real cannon. Equinox ◑ 22:48, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

@Equinox, possibly as a clipping of hand cannon? -Stelio (talk) 14:16, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

Plausible! I'm not able to prove or deny it. Equinox ◑ 22:14, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
