I am unaware of the bee stinger connection.

I started reading Rogue Warrior last night. In the first two chapters they keep referring to magazines as clips! This is supposedly from the guy who started Seal Team Six.

Re: Term "shell casings" bugs me
gun...one syllable. Firearm...three syllables (fi er arm). People tend to gravitate toward shorter words, ergo,....gun.
