Gun cotton (Chem.), a general name for a series of
explosive nitric ethers of cellulose, obtained by steeping
cotton in nitric and sulphuric acids. Although there are
formed substances containing nitric acid radicals, yet the
results exactly resemble ordinary cotton in appearance. It
burns without ash, with explosion if confined, but quietly
and harmlessly if free and open, and in small quantity.
Specifically, the lower nitrates of cellulose which are
insoluble in ether and alcohol in distinction from the
highest (pyroxylin) which is soluble. See Pyroxylin, and
cf. Xyloidin. The gun cottons are used for blasting and
somewhat in gunnery: for making celluloid when compounded
with camphor; and the soluble variety (pyroxylin) for
making collodion. See Celluloid, and Collodion. Gun
cotton is frequenty but improperly called

of nitric acid.

Machine gun, a breech-loading gun or a group of such guns,
mounted on a carriage or other holder, and having a
reservoir containing cartridges which are loaded into the
gun or guns and fired in rapid succession. In earlier
models, such as the Gatling gun, the cartridges were
loaded by machinery operated by turning a crank. In modern
versions the loading of cartidges is accomplished by
levers operated by the recoil of the explosion driving the
bullet, or by the pressure of gas within the barrel.
Several hundred shots can be fired in a minute by such
weapons, with accurate aim. The Gatling gun, {Gardner
gun}, Hotchkiss gun, and Nordenfelt gun, named for
their inventors, and the French mitrailleuse, are
machine guns.
To blow great guns (Naut.), to blow a gale. See Gun, n.,

cast (foldoc) | explicit type conversion
cast
(Or "cast" in C and elsewhere). A programming
construct (syntax) to specify that an expression's value
should be converted to a different type.
For example, in C, to convert an integer (usually 32 bits)
to a char (usually 8 bits) we might write:
int i = 42;
char *p = &buf;
*p = (char) i;
The expression "(char)" (called a "cast") converts i's value
to char type. Casts (including this one) are often not
strictly necessary, due to automatic coercions performed by
the compiler, but can be used to make the conversion obvious
and to avoid warning messages.
