I have that habit too........even though my grandfather loved to call them both "pistolas".

I think I do it simply to keep folks from correcting me as they see fit, but to be honest I tend to call most anything that goes bang a gun, and all ships are boats to me. At a young age various soda pops were simply "Cokes". (I might have done the ship/boat thing just to annoy the Navy folk while on "boat" deployment. )

I know, there's simply no hope for me now.
