Overview

A gun (pronunciation , English approximation: , ) or bang is a long Chinese staff weapon used in Chinese martial arts. It is known as one of the four major weapons, along with the qiang (spear), dao (sabre), and the jian (straight sword). It is called, in this group, "The Grandfather of all Weapons". In Vietnam (as a result of Chinese influence), the gun is known as côn in Vietnamese martial arts. Variants and styles The gun is fashioned with one thick end as the base and a thinner end near the tip, and is cut to be about the same height as the user or 6 foot. Besides the standard gun, there are also flail-like two section and three section varieties of the staff as well as non-tapered heavier variants. Numerous Chinese martial arts teach the staff as part of their curriculum, including (in English alphabetical order): Bagua seven star rod or Seven Star Stick (Qi Xing Gun), also called the Whip Stick (Bian Gun) or Heart High Stick (Xin Gun) - it is lighter and faster than the Ba Gua Staff, it can be used one-handed or two-handed. Bailangan, Northern staff Nangun, Southern staff Pigua Zhang's Feng Mo Gun - 'Frenzied Demon Staff' (劈掛拳瘋魔棍). Shaolin Zhui Feng Gun - 'Wind Chaser Staff' (虎勇敢) Qún Yáng Gùn, Shepherd staff (This routine is performed with a straight heavy red oak staff) Six and a half point pole Staff of five tigers and goat herds Taiji staff ( Taiji thirteen staff Bailangan and nangun are frequently found in modern wushu competitions in gunshu and nangun events respectively. The IWUF has created three different standardized routines and an elementary routine for gunshu and two different routines for nangun.

Notable quotes

“The buffalo hunters and range men have protested against the iron rule of Dodge's peace officers, and nearly every protest has cost human life. ... Most cowboys think it's an infringement on their rights to give up shooting in town, and if it is, it stands, for your six-shooters are no match for Winchesters and buckshot; and Dodge's officers are as game a set of men as ever faced danger.”
— Andy Adams, Log of a Cowboy, (1903); as qtd. in Matt Jancer, “Gun Control Is as Old as the Old West”, Smithsonian, (February 5, 2018).
“To accept the principle that "all power proceeds from the barrel of a gun" is to accept a society which will be dominated by those with the biggest guns.”
— Tommy Douglas, speech delivered at Luther College, Regina, Saskatchewan, March 16, 1973.
“The right of citizens to bear arms is just one more guarantee against arbitrary government, one more safeguard against the tyranny which now appears remote in America, but which historically has proved to be always possible.”
— Hubert Humphrey, “Know Your Lawmakers”, Guns magazine, February 1960, pg. 4.
“As long as I have a pen in my hand and a revolver in my pocket, I fear no one.”
— Benito Mussolini, 1914. Quoted in Paolo Monelli, Mussolini:the intimate life of a demagogue, Vanguard Press, 1954.
“I have a love interest in every one of my films — a gun.”
— Arnold Schwarzenegger, interview with Playboy (January 1988).
“"Games today are very, very real," Zelk says. "It's the weapons; it's the story lines, you know, that people get caught up in — even the optics that are used on the guns, it says L-3 EOTech. It actually has the name of the brand on the side of it so you know which optic, you know, you could go out and buy."”
— Sami Yenigun, “A Real-World Connection Between Video Games And Guns”, All Things Considered, NPR, (April 29, 2013).
