A clam gun is called a "gun" because of its design and function, which resembles that of a firearm. It typically consists of a long tube with a handle, allowing users to "shoot" or drive it into the sand to extract clams. The term emphasizes the tool's efficiency and ease of use in harvesting shellfish, similar to how a gun discharges a projectile. This nomenclature reflects a playful analogy rather than any actual weaponry.
