Hamlet in the play is a famous ditherer - he spends most of his time agonizing over what to do & when he finally gets round to doing it everything goes spectacularly pear-shaped. Cue piles of dead bodies. This Hamlet has a gun & he's not at all indecisive - sees Cadillac, wants Cadillac, pow pow pow, gets Cadillac. So I suppose the message is, the gun changes him. Not necessarily for the better. That line about "fishing in the grave/through the custard bones & stuff" makes me feel delightfully queasy!
