News media have been talking alot about guns and accessories recently.
There's one thing dogging me everytime some uninitiated reporter opens their mouth.
They keep calling magazines, 'clips'.
To me, a clip is a piece of metal fabricated to hold ammunition that has no mechanism to feed ammunition into the chamber- as with moon clips or stripper clips. Once charged they do not remain attached to the firearm.
A magazine however, is usually spring loaded or has some other mechanism by which ammunition is fed into the chamber. It is charged and remains attached to the firearm until empty.
Anyone agree? Disagree?
This bug the hell out of anyone else?
Do these distinctions really make a difference?
