Doug from Sputnik Music said, ""My Gun" really reiterates the bands styling’s with heavily catchy choruses and that uneasy whisky soaked guitar grunge giving the listener that jukebox classic that will be sure to be played in pubs all over.”

    Gun

    A gun is a normally tubular weapon or other device designed to discharge projectiles or other material. The projectile may be solid, liquid, gas or energy and may be free, as with bullets and artillery shells, or captive as with Taser probes and whaling harpoons. The means of projection varies according to design but is usually effected by the action of gas pressure, either produced through the rapid combustion of a propellant or compressed and stored by mechanical means, operating on the projectile inside an open-ended tube in the fashion of a piston. The confined gas accelerates the movable projectile down the length of the tube, imparting sufficient velocity to sustain the projectile's travel once the action of the gas ceases at the end of the tube or muzzle. Alternatively, acceleration via electromagnetic field generation may be employed in which case the tube may be dispensed with and a guide rail substituted.

    The first devices identified as guns appeared in China around CE 1000. By the 12th century the technology was spreading through the rest of Asia, and into Europe by the 13th century.

    My Gun

    by: Rubens

    I gave her the means, she had the will
    I kept on pushin', for the kill
    I never thought, she'd finish me
    As she shot me down and left me to bleed
    With my gun (x6)
    Mmmmmm
    Open my eyes, my body cold
    It shouldn't end this way, I want to grow old
    Scramble to my feet and stumbled home
    I forgave my girl, I don't want to be alone
    She took me back and stitched me up
    The whole time smiling 'cause she won
    But one day I'll get back
    My gun (x6)
    Yeah
    She took me back and stitched me up
    The whole time smiling 'cause she won
    But one day I'll get back
    My gun (x6)
    But one day I'll get back
