gunmanship

/ˈɡənmənʃɪp/ noun

The art or skill of using a gun.

Word Origin Gun comes from Old Norse Gunnhildr, a woman's name that was applied to a siege engine — so a gun is literally a 'Gunnhildr.' Gunmanship is skill with a gun, combining gun, man, and -ship 'skill, state.' The -ship suffix appears in marksmanship and craftsmanship. The breakdown gun+man+ship shows the weapon, the person, and the skill.
