As possible solution, *shop=weapon*
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!
In the US, even in Massachusetts, usage is "gun store" (store US vs shop
UK, as usual) if being casual, and "firearms" if being formal. I have
never heard any (civilian) store be desribed as a "weapons store".
That's a word I heard only in the context of defense contractors and
usually foreign military sales.
A gun store specializes in firearms and ammo, typically for recreation
or self-defense. By contrast, a shop=sports
sport=shooting;hunting;paintball would probably carry clothing and other
gear, but wouldn't necessarily carry firearms.
"Weapons store" sounds to me like a military surplus store, which might
sell firearms (and knives), but we already have shop=military_surplus
for this kind of store.
