OK. Back in the old Army, soldiers were issued cans of DDT powder to use to get rid of louse and crabs that may be picked up from wormy women.

The "gun" reference was a strategy that drill sergeants used to break soldiers of referring to their rifles as "guns", instead of rifles.

They would be paraded around the company area holding their gentiles in one hand and their rifle in the other hand, while chanting "this is for killing the enemy and this is for fun".
