Is A Revolver A Pistol? I Say Yes.

[Ranger99]

The older people my grandpa grew
up with called all ammo "hulls "
whether they were loaded ammo,
or empties. I haven't heard that
used in many years

[Drilling Man]

  "Hulls" were what empty shot shells were called...

  Ammo, seemed to get the name "bullets", from the news newbs on TV...

We called ammo of all type "shells" and spent cartridges we called "hulls".

[oldandslow]

I still do.

Well, the one thing that chaps my a** is people calling any firearm a 'weapon'. I have a multitude of 'firearms', NO weapons so far. A table lamp is a table lamp until it's used as a weapon, THEN it becomes a weapon. If and when I ever use one of mine in a defensive/offensive situation, I'll then refer to it as a weapon. Gun grabbers love the term 'weapon'.

Excellent point. I've owned two weapons. When I sold them, did they turn back into firearms?
