When a draw is described as a gutshot draw, it means that only a card of a certain rank can turn it into a straight, and since there are only four cards of each rank in the deck, the gutshot draw only has four outs. In other words, if a card of a certain rank comes on future streets, the gutshot draw will turn into a straight combination. A gutshot, also known as an inside straight draw, is a poker hand missing the middle card in the combination to make a straight.
