I suggest you make a note of this website:
usingenglish.com/reference/idioms/search.php

The first two idioms can be found by entering the keyword ‘guns’ and searching, then the keyword ‘shirts’ and searching.

I have never heard 3 used. I would understand it to mean that something simply appears to have vanished. It has disappeared.

You will find the last one by entering the term ‘bad job’ here:
