It's being used all over the place but it begs the question when is it appropriate to use it?

Gun related?

I'll get flamed for this but I think the Slidefire can be called a gamechanger

Whenever you see the game being changed, if you can identify the thing that is changing the game, well, that is a gamechanger.

A "gamechanger" should only be used in reference to tier 1 operating equipment

Any invention or other factor which substantially changes a particular field of interest. As already stated, things like metallic cartridges, bolt action rifles, heavy machine guns, airplanes, tanks, and nuclear weapons were game changers in that they revolutionized the way wars are fought. The model t was a game changer for revolutionizing daily life for the average American. Was the model t the first car? No. But Ford was the company that brought the automobile to the average middle class American.
