Being a shooter, the very first thing I thought of was to have the subject be my pistol. I’ve also been playing this excellent game called This War of Mine, which is a modern warfare/survival game from the point of view of civilian survivors just trying to hold out till ceasefire day. So.

A gun, from the point of view of _______________, is __________________.

gun manufacturer, a product

sportsperson, a darling baby

bullet, propulsion

gunpowder, potential
