when did "clips" become wrong? Doesn't "clip" and "magazine" mean the same thing (when talking guns)?

This drives me nuts. Clip is a perfectly acceptable term to use for magazine.



Not it's not dude come the frick on. It's pretty easy to distinguish between them and when someone says this I immediately disregard anything else they say bc they clearly don't know wtf they are talking about.

It is a precision of language issue quite frankly used as gatekeeping. While not precise, clip was used for decades pretty much interchangeably with magazine. WWII and Korean war vets probably had a lot to do with the use of "clip" since they used clips.

Everybody in the whole fricking country knows what you mean when you call a magazine a clip. Every single older person I know calls it a clip, and half of them fought wars. Would you disregard anything a Korea vet says because it calls anything that holds bullets in a gun a clip? Because how I just said that is how he would say it.

What it does do is make the wacko weird arse gun counter nuts easy to distinguish from normal people who actually use their guns.

Rifle on FBI Most Wanted?

This thread made me think the FBI put a gun on the FBI most wanted list. Which is actually believable in this clown world.

Since forever, it just basically shows someone who doesn't know what they are talking about...

I have a 9mm carbine

Fun as hell to shoot, accurate to maybe 100-150 yards.

I agree with technically correct usage and I admit it bothers me, but I'll also admit it's a pretty small thing that as obtuse said is used for gatekeeping and dunking on people outside of gun culture (or those new to it)

So I guess the concept of some gucci rifle type (like me) bagging on the incorrect terminology of an old timer who probably spent a lot more of his life dependent on a rifle than me just seems pretty lame

_____ nuts are douchebags is pretty universal. I do think it's mutating though. When I was younger it was all guys at gun counters scoffing at white collar guys who wanted to give them money. It was very "bullied kid becomes cop" energy.

Now you've got the young brash guys bashing the fudds, the "we hate cops" militant gun rights guys, the gravy SEAL LARPers, the "I would never join the military I'm not a subservient imbecile" LARPers, etc.
