Magazine vs. Clip

[Younggun]

And I am old and irked by people ignorant of history who try to impress others with their "superior" knowledge (e.g., by being "magazine" snobs).

Gen. George S. Patton (who was quite knowledgeable in firearms - for those who are also ignorant about his life and career) wrote of GI's inserting clips into their 1911's. WW2 and Korea vets talked about clips for their 1911's. Your attitude insults these vets. Just because over time people chose to discard part of the definition does not mean that those who use the term clips are wrong. It must means you are ignorant of history.

Maybe you would prefer Websters, if Patton and other soldiers who served aren't good enough for you:
clip
noun
Definition of clip
1 :any of various devices that grip, clasp, or hook
2 :a device to hold cartridges for charging the magazines of some rifles; also :a magazine from which ammunition is fed into the chamber of a firearm

It's only insulting to those who are insulted by facts.

Historically, people that comets and meteors were signs of angry gods. Doesn't mean they were right and we shouldn't accept such nonsense for fear of hurt feelings.

I guess it depend on if you just ran out of ammo or just reloaded.

Just remember, meteors are not the objects themselves, but the tails of meteorites. So unless the meteorite hits the atmosphere, it's not a meteor.

Actually:

Meteoroid. -a small rocky object traveling through space.

Meteor - that small rocky object burning up in the atmosphere.

Meteorite - the rocky remains of a meteor that did not completely burn up that is found on the surface.

BTW, most meteors you see are small dust or sand grain size particles.

And some people now think they can choose their gender. Doesn't mean that everything "new" is right and we should ignore history.

And the facts were established in this case before you were born.

Is there anyone having problems loading their firearms? If not, call that thing with the bullets a doohickey for all I care. I may cringe a little, but I'll get over it.

Now wait just a minute!

A magazine is where they store large quantities of blackpowder.

Yes, but is a powder room also a place to store black powder or is it where you put on make up or both?

 

[Moonpie]

You put on make-up?

Who knew?

We need instruction on what gender you identify as?
We wouldn't want to offend.
