11,254 Behold, the next riddle.

I am found in guns and clips
I just caress your fingertips
A moment I would likely dread
A clawed beast will hit my head

11,254. Damn, I don't think I do this sarcasm poem any better than my first try. Oh the riddle!

[StrangePlans]

11,252. Why do I even ask...

[stormtrooperwilliam]

11,251. Only thing I can think of is a bullet.

[BlackEcho]

a bullet!

Pretty sure it's a bullet too.

11,248 If it were a bullet, the fingertips line wouldn't make any sense.

11247. Hmm. I thought the "clawed beast" hitting the "head" was a reference to the firing hammer hitting the bullet...

Which is a clever line of thinking. However, I'd think it would be more accurate to say it's hitting the end of the bullet rather than the head.
