OK so i have a question. I'm re-reading the chronicles of Thomas Covenant and there's one sentence, which goes as follows; "He wanted to move, but he could only stand suspended, trapped, looking down the muzzle of the hurtling car."
The car is described like a gun, what technique is this?

I was thinking a metaphor, but it felt too general. A metaphor is when the author says that something IS another thing, right? Well Donaldson isn't saying that the car IS a gun, he's just implying that by describing the car as if it were a gun. I don't know, i just think there has to be something more specific.

It's symbolism, ya mook.
"The car, like, symbolises death, man."

A fucking goddamn metaphor.

Metaphors don't require 'is' to be metaphors.
