Did you get in a 2 year argument on why he is wrong.

nope for all i care he could call them books, as far as im concerned he and any other vet earned the right to call them whatever they want. who am i to dictate what the say, after all vets are the reason i have the right to call them what i want

I believe that would be a spelling mistake

I'd never correct your grammer

Sometimes a box is just a box...

I call mine banana clips.

Funny, as hard as I try, I can never get bananas to work, in mine...

So....do I need to have my Indiana concealed carry permit on me when I'm carrying my assault rifle with the 30 round clip? I don't want some antsy cop pointing his Glock service revolver at me.

You and your petty details.

Show him your badge! Show him your CCW badge!

This thread has made my Monday.

Magazines have both a spring and a follower (moving parts).
Clips do not have springs or followers (the M1 Garand uses clips, as does the S&W 625 revolver in .45 ACP).

When using the word, "clip," most people are speaking of a magazine.
Suggest calling magazines "magazines," not "clips."

Are not clips a type of spring?

Oh. Okay. And in a similar vein, I want people to quit calling engines "motors".

What about Ford Motor Company and General Motors?

Also, what about the interchangeability of rocket motors/engines?

And what about search engines?

Awe, did it sting a little?

You do realize that virtually everyone who has been reading this group for more than a few days knows this and this pet peeve of yours gets commented on just about each and every time someone misuses the terminology?

That's no lie. On my first day here at INGO, just by reading a few posts, I learned: it's a magazine- not a clip, and it's a licence- not a permit.

Constantly amazed at how much stew can be made outta one oyster.

 

[LEaSH]

8 pages worth of stew.

I always take a magazine with me when I mambo dogface to the banana patch.

ROFL! Wonder how many people here are old enough to get that reference?

I walked in here trying to buy ammo and a clip for my gat.

I asked the women working for a clip for my hi-point but they just blankly stared back at me and said "your hair is already laying flat sir, I don't see a high point"

They only sell clips for greats, not gats.

Gotta work on your reading comprehension, man.

Evidently you and I. Actually, we're probably the only ones hip enough.
