Clips vs. Magazines

[Biggsly]

I will correct a friend that calls a magazine a clip. Not in a ****** way though. I just explain to them what a clip is versus a magazine. Most understand the difference, but will still call a magazine a clip. I don't continue to correct them, and I don't get bent out of shape. I tried, they don't care, life goes on. No big deal.

Side note: I would want someone to correct me if I used the wrong term or pronounced something incorrectly. Some people don't though. To each their own.

I told him years ago. He is one of those guys that do not give a damn. lol I just think it is funny how some people get about it. I don't worry about the small things.

What would you do if your friends referred to revolvers as pistols?

I wouldn't care. It's just nomenclature.

Garands and broomhandle mausers have clips, AK's and AR's have magazines.

I agree. I shoot with friends who call mags "clips" all the time.
Do I feel the need to correct them? No
Do I give a damn? No
Just glad that they go shooting with me.

Exactly. Everyone knows what the crap they are talking about. Its like trying to correct someone's grammer on a message board. Its more annoying when someone has to point it out just to pad their own ego.

Magazines not clips, unless it is a clip, at which point it is not a magazine, unless it is an en bloc clip, at which point, in my mind, it's both.

At which point was it? Lol.
