Initially, I had the same question. It has nothing to do with cleaning tool, does it? Later, I read a web page, a gun collector summarized the nickname well, "Why they call this thing a Broomhandle I don't know. Its an insult to the ergonomics of a broom......." He spoke out my feeling.

Here is this page. Enjoy.
