Gun people again.

Ummm, ok. We call it a clip.



I wanna know the difference between an engine, and a motor.

Clip, but I'm not an expert, just a human.

I thought this forum was "random ramblings"? If I spent every waking hour thinking chickens, I'd go mad! Love my birds, but this forum is a nice place to share our non-chicken thoughts with other chicken-loving friends. Ramble-on my friends.

I wanted to buy a gun clip. I searched the web....Cabelas etc. Most times comes up as magazines.

So I call it a magazine.

But technically my opinion doesn't count cause I don't have chickens......yet

Looks like typical random ramblings to me.

Now, I looked at picture and said a clip or a magazine then read down to see what I was supposed to say, my husband the gun person (not an avid hobbyist but more than dabbling) calls it a Mag, but says "everybody calls it a clip, but if you walk into a gun store you would ask to buy a magazine". So we split down the middle, both of us.

Chickens.

With regard to what the "stores" call their products, my husband has always been irked by saber saws being called "jig" saws. It's what the masses call it and that's how the stores will sell it. He doesn't spend his days correcting everyone.

Welcome to BYC Flumes! I can't wait to see your first pics of your first birds!

Hey Flumes and

and I don't have any chicken right now, and I didn't know either.

Using correct terminology is not being a snob. Throwing a fit cause someone else does not is.
I went to school for auto mechanics an use to run a shop. I now a motor from a engine. I have never in my life seen anyone that was confused cause someone used the wrong one so there is no reason to care what word people use.
Same with clip v/s magazine...

You are 100% corrrect, Reb...
Just ignore the nasty people.. Aint worth it buddy..

My husband and I are both legal concealed carry for NY, we love guns and have quite a collection. We call them clips. We also know what someone is referring to if we hear them say magazine, both can be used interchangeably. It is acceptable to call it either regardless of the proper term. FOR INSTANCE- Most people use the words "heart attack" when they are really having a "Myocardial Infarction" (proper medical terminology). Both terms are acceptable regardless of the proper one. Now lets not have a Myocardial Infarction over semantics

That there is a magazine, or mag for short. ( not that I knew, i went and asked hubby)

But I wouldnt be offended if you called it a clip. Or even one of those thingies that holds the bullets...

It all depends who I'm talking to. I usually refer to it as a magazine or mag for short unless the person I'm talking to gives me a funny look, then I say clip and then they understand what I was talking about.
