American Gun Ownership Highest In 18 Years

[Razgovory]

I remember reading something from a firearms expert, who mocked all those newly-baked experts drawing distinction between clips and magazines.  He said that for all his career, people called magazines clips and no one was either confused or bothered by it.

He's an idiot.

I have a novel and ground-breaking theory.  The only people who actually care about gun nomenclature are idiots.

You should worry more about your idiotic state. You idiots allowed them to get in power. So learn your nomenclature and weapons handling dumbfuck. You're going to need it.

I'm all for precise nomenclature when it matters, but does this particular thing matter?  If you're in a firefight, you run out of ammo for your M-16, and ask your buddy for a clip, is he going to be all confused while digging through his backpack for an M1 Garand strip?

I would never call a tracked and turreted AFV with thick armor and a big gun a tank, for that very reason.

Why would he throw you an M1 clip. If you asked for an M16 clip he would throw you

Hell Raz probably calls the AIM-9 Sidewinder, AIM-7 Sparrow, and AGM-65's rockets. What does it matter.

Why not?  The Russians would.

There are arguments both ways.  One in favor of calling magazines magazines is that I think people say clip because they think it sounds cool and gangsterish.

it matters when your buddy leaves you to die because you called it a clip

I actually do know the difference, it's just that I don't care.  It's like the difference between a cobbler and a cordwainer.
