What significance has that to me? It's not the proper term for the weapon in question, and therefore ought not be used.

And it does make a difference. Call a weapon by its name, so that we can know exactly what you mean. Call a weapon by an arbitrary and false name, and we have no idea what you mean. Put it in quotes if you still want to call it by an incorrect name, and give us an actual description of the damned thing, without expecting us to be familiar with some idiot's idea of a cool and undescriptive name.
