vgun

Vgun, often written vgun, is a term used in multiple online and technical contexts to refer to firearm-related concepts in digital media. There is no single, universally recognized definition.

In video games and virtual reality, vgun commonly denotes a virtual firearm—the weapon model that appears in first- or third-person views and is used to simulate shooting. Implementations may use hitscan (raycasting) to determine hits or simulate ballistic projectiles, and the asset may include animations, sounds, and visual effects. The term is often used generically or as a label for assets during development and modding.

In development and modding communities, vgun may be employed as a placeholder name for a firearm model or as an internal asset identifier. Projects may also reuse the term as a filename, class name, or module name, without implying any formal standard.

In fiction and media, V-Gun or vgun appears as a weapon name in science fiction, anime, or games; such usages are typically independent of real-world weapon classifications.

Because vgun lacks a formal standard, its precise meaning is determined by context, including the platform, project, and user community. When encountering the term, readers should look for clarifying definitions within the specific project or discussion.
