    My college Spanish can’t fail me… of course it just says “pick up that gun” and isn’t some sort of double entendre that I don’t understand

      Your observations are correct.

      NSFW explanation

      In Spain, “coger” is “to take”, and “pistola” is “pistol/gun”.

      In Argentina/Uruguay, “coger” is slang/vulgarism for “to have sexual intercourse [with]”, while “pistola” is also slang for penis. Literally “fuck that cock” or “have sex with that penis”
