Desert_Fox_Rommel uryu ishida Because is is NOT a clip. It's a MAGAZINE. A clip LOADS a magazine but is not a magazine in and of itself. It holds ammunition in place to LOAD one. So they are not near in use. I know the difference between the two so there is no need to explain that part to me. That's not what I am asking. What I am asking is why gun nuts make such a big deal over it. The media in general screws it up so people who pay attention to the media to learn something then make the mistake of calling it a clip then no matter how intelligent or polite or civilized their conversation was just because they said clip their "good" reputation or whatever is voided and they get flamed when they didn't know any better. Seriously what the hell is so terrible about being mistaken? Are you going to flame them for other mistakes? Should someone have to understand everything about a gun inside and out before being allowed to discuss it?
It's like calling a Ford F150 a Corvette. Sure, they are vehicles, but the statement is NOT TRUE.
We call things by what they are. |

Seriously what the hell is so terrible about being mistaken? Are you going to flame them for other mistakes? Should someone have to understand everything about a gun inside and out before being allowed to discuss it? THey should understand it's a MAGAZINE, all repeating firearms use a MAGAZINE. The media tries to make things sound SCARY, so they borrowed the "gangsta" term of clip, because that stupid sod who just shot his own balls off couldn't be bothered to say MAG. It's like calling a Ford F150 a Corvette. Sure, they are vehicles, but the statement is NOT TRUE. We call things by what they are.
1. I know they are not the same thing. I know the difference between the two.
2. I know that many people are misinformed due to the media calling a magazine a clip.
3. My problem isn't people who get it wrong. My problem is not that you want people to know the difference. My problem is not that you want others to know the difference. My problem is how so many gun nuts make such a big deal about this misidentification of parts. I'm cool with you wanting someone who doesn't know the difference to know the difference. My problem is how when people talk about guns they say "clip" and that makes gun nuts freak out as if it were like some dumbass kid were pointing a gun at people to be a smartass. I have a problem with how it's like a mortal sin for someone to be mistaken and call a mag a clip. I have a problem with the word "clip" being the only thing that gun nuts take from a statement and make a big deal about it. My problem is the extremes gun nuts go through to achieve their "enlightenment" of gun noobs.
Gun nuts could take the clip/magazine as a side note while discussing whatever the topic of the statement is, but instead what I see every time is flameflameflameflameflame a mag is not a clip flameflameflameflameflame.
Do you get it? I know it's not the same. I know the differences. I understand you want them to know the difference. I'm just tired of the same old "omgitsnotaclip" bullshit that I see every single time.
I apologize for being rude about it, but seriously it gets old. |

Pvt Sakuya OberFeldwebel Well... cheer up. Here's a picture that might make you feel better. If not, there's always beer. ClipClipMagazineQuiz! 1. Left is a;Mauser gewehr 2. Right is a; SMLE MK2?
You over thought the problem.
I'm not too familiar with old stripper clips, but that clip appears to be loaded with .303 and the mag as well. So it must be a clip for the Enfield.
How about the media calling them 'Magazine Clips'?
I think I heard that after that shooting in the gun free zone mall.
Fresnel...
