My point is that there is a difference between "clips" and "magazines", if you can't see it or admit it, then you truly don't know the difference between clips and magazines or don't want to acknowledge the difference between clips and magazines.

Yes, I realize there's a difference. There's also a difference between a motor and an engine.
Do you correct everyone that mentions the "motor" in their car? Of course not, because you'd sound like a jerk.
That's my point.
Lol, maybe not the best example (technically an engine is a type of motor), but you get my drift.

Yep, and as mentioned in my earlier post...
"And yet if someone says "clip" for a Glock, 1911, or whatever... you know exactly what they're talking about."
I stopped calling them clips a good while ago. But I still find it annoying when folks can't resist correcting someone who does. Kinda like the grammar police.
Sorry.
[EDIT] Well, apparently the last post I was responding to disappeared...

I also have an assault rifle with a silencer. After It uses the 60 round drum clip, it's hot enough to cook bacon on.
Went to 'Great Clips' yesterday for a 'round' of clipping. Ah . . . does that count?
Some of the cool operators clip their clips together
Sorry, the correct answer was Sport Clips.
Yeah... ever hear of "banana clips" for AKs? They were called that for years. 
I know they're different devices, so does the guy below, yet he gives some food for thought.
"The Definitions:
Webster defines magazine as: a supply chamber; a holder in or on a gun for cartridges to be fed into the gun chamber automatically.
Webster defines clip as: a device to hold cartridges of recharging the magazines of some rifles; a magazine from which ammunition is fed into the chamber of a firearm."
” … in 1909-1910 U.S. Ordinance reports referred to the 'clip' of the upcoming service pistol.” This would indicate that the U.S. armed forces, at least in some capacity, called what we know as magazines 'clips.'"

I don't advocate calling a mag a clip, just don't see why the big deal when occasionally someone does.

I surrender. I have dismounted my high horse and using either magazine or clip is okie-dokie by me. I liked the Similar threads
