[edit] Music video

[edit] Trivia

• The revolver on the cover is a mirror image: revolvers are built such that the cylinder swings leftward to facilitate loading with the free hand. It could also be a left-handed revolver.
• Available in the UK were a number of 12" promo singles featuring a remix by Jamie T called "Kids with Guns (Turn to Monsters Remix)".
• The beat of "Kids with Guns" is featured on the television show, The O.C., in season 2 episode 21 "The Return of the Nana". It is played when Seth and Ryan meet the blonde woman.
• On 'Kano Mixtape' Kano used this beat to make a track.
