gunplay

/ˈɡʌnˌpleɪ/ US

Where it comes from

From gun + play.

noun gunplays

uncountable, usually The discharge of firearms, usually with violent intent and in confrontations. In the aftermath of the Iraq War, the streets of Baghdad were sometimes filled with gunplay.
uncountable, usually A sexual practice involving the use of a (usually unloaded) firearm for physical and mental stimulation. My problem with gunplay is that it could lead to very bad habits. They're always loaded, even when they're "not loaded", and if you get used to thinking of them as not loaded you're going to get careless.
