magazine vs clip obsession

[ignerntbend]

My A-Bolts have floor plates with detachable magazines. You can open the breach and load the gun from the top. You can drop the floor and load it thataway.Options Options options. The modern world has given me problems that a better man wouldn't even talk about.

In reality the terms are synonymous, people use either to mean the same thing.

Others try to use one or the other as correct to make themselves feel superior. Note: if this comment offends you, then you are who I am talking about.

This comment offends me.^^^I'll never forget the day I heard an elderly lady say cement when she should have said concrete. Only my good upbringing kept me from taking her by the throat.

I say "clip" because I'm so street. It doesn't sound as tough when I refer to the "magazine" for my gat.

Yeah. I don't think you would get much street cred if you told them you had some banana magazines.

Who cares? I know what they are talking about with or without proper terminology.

If someone is seriously going to be that anal-retentive, why not go all the way ..."staggered column box magazine", etc. Some people will whine if you give them a wrinkled $100 bill.

The people who torque me off, almost as much as those guys who call a magazine a clip, are the ones who call their rifle a gun. "This is my rifle, this is my gun. This is for shootin', this is for fun." It's not hard to learn that one little rhyme and grab your crouch when you say the second parts. We need a catchy little rhyme that makes use of a body part for clips and magazines.

You speak the truth!

South of the Mason-Dixon line clips and magazines are interchangable terms.
Don't like it? Then move north you damn yankees!

Dad always told me anyone north of Tulsa was a yankee. And that mayonnaise was for yanks....I don't always get ol' dad.
