LOL - we should collect more of this. Again, I couldn't find many nicknames for weapons - most of them are for other things. Some more examples: 'Eisbeinorden' - a medal for taking part in the disastrous fighting in russia in winter 41/42 - an Eisbein is a typical german dish, a pig's leg bone, and word-by-word this would be translated as 'icy leg' , hehe...
'Bildungskanone' ('educational gun') - field library
'Betonorden' ('concrete decoration') - medal for taking part in building the 'Westwall'
