A gun is a muzzle or breech-loaded projectile-firing
weapon. There are various definitions depending
on the nation and branch of service. A "gun"
may be distinguished from other firearms in being
a crew served weapon such as a howitzer or mortar,
as opposed to a small arm like a rifle or pistol,
but there are exceptions, such as the USAF's GUU5/P.
At one time, land based artillery tubes were called
cannon and sea-based naval cannon were called guns.
The term "gun" evolved into a generic
term for any tube-launched projectile-firing weapon
used by sailors, including boarding parties and
marines (and grandmas)...
