[QUOTE="ignerntbend, post: 1874781, member: 6981"] There are plenty of WWII veterans who call a magazine a clip. They just don't know any better, I guess. Another confusion from my own youth is the use of the word automatic. A bunch of people would call an autoloader an automatic, and call a machine gun a "full" automatic. People like that oughta be horse whipped. John Moses Browning himself invented a pistol to fire a cartridge called the .45 Automatic Colt Pistol. Exsqueeze me Johnny, you dumb bastard, that should be .45 Semi-Automatic Colt Pistol. [/QUOTE]
