schietgeweer

Etymology
Compound of.

Noun

 * 1)  A gun, a firearm.

Usage notes

 * Until the early twentieth century this was a current, neutral term for a firearm, as geweer could be used for any type of sidearm. The primary meaning of geweer has since narrowed to guns, so this compound may strike speakers as pleonastic. As a result it is now associated with childish or humorous, ironic language.
