In Spain, “coger” is “to take”, and “pistola” is “pistol/gun”.
In Argentina/Uruguay, “coger” is slang/vulgarism for “to have sexual intercourse [with]”, while “pistola” is also slang for penis. Literally “fuck that cock” or “have sex with that penis”
My college Spanish can’t fail me… of course it just says “pick up that gun” and isn’t some sort of double entendre that I don’t understand
