Sorry, but speaking as a recreational shooter, & on behalf of all others,
we find the use of the term "weapons" for our chosen sporting tools more
than somewhat offensive - recreational shooters don't use weapons, the
military does!

We would *much* prefer to see it listed as either shop=gun/s or =firearms,
rather than =weapons.

As not all gunshops sell all types of gun, that could also then be broken
down further into the classification of guns that they sell e.g.
guns=rifles;shotguns;pistols

Yes it does, as you also have shops that are primarily intended to sell
knives e.g. https://www.kingofknives.com.au/, & which is not just a
shop=houseware as they also sell hunting, fishing & trade (chef / butchers
etc) knives.

You also have shops that only sell ammunition, not guns:

There should probably also be a shop=archery, as bows & arrows are often
found in their own shop, not associated with shooting.

& how about shops for fencing / swordsmanship?

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop%3Dhunting is another one to be
considered? How does that match in with guns, fishing etc?

Thanks
