Todos os quatro Beatles a identificaram em algum momento como sua música favorita do álbum de 1968.
John Lennon tirou o título de uma revista da Associação Nacional de Armas de Fogo que pertencia ao produtor George Martin, achando "fantástica e insana" a ideia de que uma arma quente significa que ela acabou de ser usada.
Durante uma entrevista em 1980, Lennon admitiu que a "arma quente" era uma dupla alusão à sua sexualidade e ao desejo por Yoko Ono, mas negou que a música tivesse qualquer relação com drogas.
Lennon descreveu a faixa como uma espécie de "história do rock and roll" devido à sua estrutura complexa de cinco seções distintas cabendo em menos de três minutos.
George Harrison utilizou seu conhecimento de assinaturas rítmicas complexas da música clássica indiana, adquiridas estudando sitar, para ajudar a resolver os desafios rítmicos e métricos da faixa.
As linhas "Bang bang, shoot shoot" foram cantadas por Paul McCartney e George Harrison em estilo doo-wop como resposta direta ao Lennon cantar o título da música.
