Yes. Sammy Davis Jr. was a very competent gun spinner. He has performed this act on television.
I'm not sure, but I know someone who owns a Davis 38 Derringer and has "EP" engraved on each side, the TCB/ lightning bolt symbol on the grip, and Elvis Presley signature engraved on top barrel. Is there more out there like this one? I've been trying to help them find info on their gun, but no luck yet.
OK, I hate this song, but it sticks like a bad taste in the mouth. both the writer and the performer ( Mac Davis and Elvis Presley) were or are- White. ( are they qualified to write of Ghetto life?)- The song is really closer to a country and western ballad- a song spinning a story, than something like Suspicious Minds which is a far better song. In the Ghetto joins the ranks of the Suicide Club- the lengthy litany of songs that deal with this abhorrent problem. It is not directly stated in the song but strongly implied the (Angry Young Man) takes his own life. It might also be considered anti-Gun. Presley emphasizes the word ( Gunn!) in the song. as no mention is made of a gun battle- or encounter with police, it smells like a suicide.
My gun.
no there is not a gun called a 40 because thereis no 40 caliber gun
Elvis Presley. It was written by Mac Davis who also recorded it. It is very unusual for a White artist to do a piece about Race problems- and in l968! The song ends sadly, with the death by gunshot ( apparently suicide, as no gun battle is indicated, or a chase with the police) by the unanmed protagonist- the Angry Young man, ( face down in the street with a GUNNNN in his hand, in the Ghetto ! ( Presley emphasized the word (Gun). It is also anti-gun, as is the sickening Run Joey run, where a family argument escalates into Homicide.

The bullet is moving forward, and is spinning. As the bullet moves away from the gun, it falls towards the earth from gravity.

Bullets spin when fired from a gun because of rifling, which are spiral grooves inside the gun barrel. The spinning motion stabilizes the bullet's flight, improving accuracy and range.
