From (original) fiction:
“Sounds like...” I paused, then turned to Karl, who was shaking. He'd opened one of the bags of non-linked ammunition, then read from an ancient-looking and somewhat greasy scrap of wax-coated paper, “they called this thing a pig, I think.” He looked at me, then said, “only your handwriting is worse than this here.”
“Always hungry for more ammunition,” I said, “hence its 'name'.” I then asked a question.
“What was the, uh, correct designation for these things?”
“Type 60-B,” said the soft voice, “and they got many of their ideas from elsewhere for both that 'name' and that weapon's parts. Rachel wrote that label on that scrap of paper as her idea of a joke, for she'd heard a lot of people – both witches in the Abbey, and the other side's soldiers on that radio – calling these guns swine.”
