There's something unbelievably hot about a girl who can handle a handgun. It's about power and control and cruelty and character -- and the fact that women look way hotter with them than we ever can.
Spurred on by this picture of Neha Dhupia in the upcoming Singh Is Kinng, here's a look at some gun-toting gals worth dying for. Or, well, at the hands of.

Neha Dhupia in Singh Is Kinng
We all know Dhupia can handle bikinis, but the actress seems rather keen on guns and stunts in Kinng. But is her Julie just an actress masquerading as a gangster? We'll know soon enough.
Priyanka Chopra in Don
The wildcat in Don!
Enough of a wildcat to distract the Don on the run from eleven countries worth of policemen, Chopra was ridiculously hot in the Don remake, especially when filling out an all-white bodysuit. Meow.
Kat goes boom boom!
Kaizad Gustad's justifiably panned gangster movie was a mess of cliches and profanity, but the one thing its hard to complain about -- despite being inane to the max -- was the fact that the protagonists were three really hot women in really skimpy clothes.

Dangerous Company
Sure, Ram Gopal Verma's magnificent Company was all about Ajay Devgan's Malik and Vivek Oberoi's Chandu duking it out, but the women were very well-etched as well. Koirala, as Malik's girlfriend Saroja, was particularly excellent.

Rani takes on Natalie!
A Leon: The Professional ripoff with Bobby Deol replacing Jean Reno? Unimaginable but true, and even weirder is the fact that a black-eyed preteen Natalie Portman is replaced by an overweight, cussing Rani Mukerji. Urk.
A ruthless Madam
Okay, so you're probably thinking of that vague mud-and-water romp song opposite Akshay Kumar, but when dry, Re was totally ruthless in her first turn as villain.
Madame Maya knows no boundaries -- and hence was perfectly cast.

A bandit named Devi
Talking about women comfortable with triggers? Well, the definitive vigilante character found life with Shekhar Kapur's retelling of the Phoolan Devi story. Biswas, driven to outlaw life in the cruellest way possible, was an absolute revelation.
A bombshell named Zeenat
Priyanka's a hottie, but the original junglee billi starred in the original movie. Zeenat's Roma matched kicks with couture and looked as lethal as she was, and remains among the hottest of the toughest.

Hema Malini in Johny Mera Naam
Was Hema's Rekha in this Vijay Anand classic really as tough? Hell, yeah.
As a buddy succinctly paraphrased just a few minutes ago: 'Hema had a gun, she stole, she smuggled... and she was irreverent in a temple. Hema in Johny was hardcore, man.' Indeed.
Mr And Mrs Parshuram
