What is the definition of a, 'Zip' gun anyhow? A gun that will just zip you away to the ER or what?

I think the term is negative and is used to conjure-up images of a 1950s inner citiy high school thug. Our example looks like a legitimate, resourse gathering attempt, from a 1930s laid-off apprentice machinist whom needed a pistol.
