A fork of Rural Dictionary
"Choppa" or "Chopper" is a term used since Al Capone's age to refer to fully automatic small barreled guns, wich, in theory, could easily chop out someone's limps due to the amount of shots fired in a single spot in a short period of time, usually shot from very near the target.
Back in the day it was used to refer to the Thompson gun, but with urban violence rising and AR-15 and AK-47 plataforms becoming more acessible, AR Pistols and Dracos started to be used a lot by gangs, in order to have a great amount of stopping power in a submachine gun sized weapon, what made them "perfect" for small territory defense and drive by shootings, activities heavily practiced by those gangs. With these rifle caliber pistols becoming more common, the term "Choppa" gradually became used for all kinda guns used for gang activities, including those who are not SBR's neither AR/AK pistols/SMG's, even these last are the first thought majority of people have when they hear the word "Choppa".
"We gon pull up wit them sticks and Hop out 'em wit them Choppers"
"Wanna know the rules os slidin? First go get you a ski, then go get yourself a Choppa, pull up, hop out on feet"
A firearm that is fully-automatic or select-fire, e.g. the M16A2, AK47, Uzi, MAC10.
Choppas are NOT the so-called "assault weapons," as "assault weapons" do not exist, they are a figment of your imagination, get over it.
