Etymology 1
This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium . Particularly: “The modern Sinitic meaning of "gun" (which none of the Sino-Xenic languages use; 銃 (OC *tʰjuŋs ) is used instead, while 槍 retains the original "spear" meaning) supposedly stems from a shortening of 突火槍 , aka the "fire lance", an early proto-gun invented around the Song dynasty.
As for further etymology, doesn't seem to be given etymology by STEDT or Schuessler (2007), though note a vague resemblance in the Old Chinese pronunciation to Burmese လှံ ( hlam , “ spear ” ) .”
