Listening to mediocre alt rock today, and I'm wondering: does every shitty WeWishWeWereFallOutBoy (WWWWFAIL for short) band HAVE to make a "barrel of a gun" metaphor in one of their songs? Is it a requirement? Is there an Overused Symbolism Gestapo that keeps these bands from making original comparisons? I'd at least like to hear that they're at the end of some kind of original projectile weapon- a crossbow, a harpoon, a missile launcher maybe? If your life is the barrel of a missile launcher, I'm going to take you a lot more seriously. This is why we don't let bassist write songs, guys.
Final question: Is there ANYTHING cooler than a harpoon?

I think this answers your question in regards to weapons:
