/CHUM-bo/
A gun, pistol, or any firearm in Uruguayan street slang. 'Chumbo' is Montevideo lunfardo at its most raw — straight from the street, no euphemism, heard in neighborhoods where the word describes a daily reality rather than a hypothetical.
Example
"They found a gun in the abandoned lot."
"He showed up with a gun and everyone scattered."
