Definition
People, especially from the American Old West, who were skilled in using guns and often engaged in shootouts or duels with firearms.
Etymology
From 'gun' (firearm) + 'fighters' (people who fight). The compound term became common in American English during the late 19th century, romanticized by dime novels, later popularized by Western films and literature.
Kelly Says
The 'gunfighter' is an almost entirely mythologized figure—most famous gunfighters had kill counts in the low single digits, but Wild West storytellers exaggerated them into legendary demons, creating one of history's most successful fictional archetypes.
