I think it's funny. It says "clip loader" but its for magazines! Seriously how hard is that?

And the clip vs. magazine thing is "worn out"? So lets just go around calling things by another name then.

Clip: device that holds multiple rounds together as a unit.
Magazine: device that holds multiple rounds within the firearm.
Clips were used to load magazines.
Once magazines became detachable - clip and magazine became interchangeable.
For some reason in recent years it became "cool" to differentiate the two and ridicule those who don't.

Honestly that wasn't the first thing that popped into my head between clip and magazine. I've been repremanded for calling a suppressor a silencer, I understand the need to call something by the correct name, but cut some slack lol.

I thought it was funny. If you are going to introduce a product, you might want to use the correct term for the industry. Does it make it function differently? No. Does it make the manufacturer look uniformed, yes.
