TheDesigner 1197 Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) I can not stand it. Almost everyone sais CLIP when referring to a MAGAZINE. I see this as an ongoing issue on the world we live in. With no way to solve it, so next time your about to say clip, say magazine instead. A Magazine is the thing you put bullets in then put in your gun.Everytime I see someone say clip, a little peice inside me dies :/.This had to be said!Whilst you say this, I'm sure the inner Grammar Nazi in some people is dying slowly along with you and your need for everyone to say clip instead of magazine ( hue ).Clip.Clip. Clip. Clip. Clip. Clip. Clip. Clip. Clip. Clip. Clip. Clip. Clip. Clip. Clip. Clip. Clip. Clip. Clip.Also, I hope you don't use the excuse that English isn't your first language, since saying that me expecting you to know everything about a subject you're still trying to understand would be.. very.. hypocritical.Boom.

Maca (DayZ) 769 Posted June 29, 2013 So they are now called " The Magazine Clip"ClipazineLet's just call it an "ammo stick".We many need to start a poll and let the community decide from any of the three names above and resolve this issue once and for all. Then any future reference about clips/magazines, will not develope into another (Clipmagate). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Whatsausername 119 Posted June 29, 2013 so um im just going to say it. A magazine is was holds the ammunition for a weapon it can be internal or external. so a hunting rifle that hold 5 rounds, has an internal magazine where as the m14 has an external one. Because a "clip" is used to bind bullets together, the magazine of an m16 is also technically a type of clip. Thus they are both correct and your anger is misplaced. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magazine_(firearms) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clip_(ammunition) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bofadeez 2 Posted June 29, 2013 I know they're called magainzes, and I don't give a fuck. I don't use firearms in real life, I'm not a cop, and I was never in the military, so I'm gonna go on calling them clips. Mainly because I enjoy annoying people like the OP who think they can change my verbal habits by being a dick about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sutinen 635 Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) Clip is used for any pump action, bolt action and even semi- auto that have limit restrictions acording to hunting lawsMagazine is used for atomatic weaponsYou're thinking of a tubular magazine.

Surt 9 Posted June 29, 2013 In real life I don't think you'd get confused if i had an AKM and asked for you to pass me a clip.You might get confused when I pass you this though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death_Dealer 3155 Posted June 30, 2013 Was watching The Hills Have Eyes, in one scene Doug asks Bobby how many bullets he has left in his pistol. He respond with "A clip and a half." 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If your in the US I think new York has some stupid law like that but im pretty sure that only applies to factory made, as in you cannot buy a hand gun with a 15 round magazine, you have to get an aftermarket one.
