@TR5T They like to keep it simple for the infantry, since an explanation of cartridge case, primer, propellant (not "gunpowder") and projectile is a bit too complicated for them.
"Weapon" is likewise generic, and depends on your branch of service. In the Navy, guns are artillery. In the AF, anything that fires a projectile through a barrel, from a GUU5P (M4 equivalent, "G" for "Gun") to the 105mm on the AC130 is a gun.
A "weapon" can mean anything from a M9 pistol to a W54 nuclear device.
You think the news is terrible with firearms? Watch ANY report on ANYTHING related to videogames if you haven't already. Caution: It could make any intelligent person cry. (If you feel REALLY masochistic, watch them talk about airsoft guns too!)
The news doesn't inform anymore, it entertains. They could be given all the information they need, but to appeal to a public that doesn't like to learn anything, they misrepresent their information to make it more entertaining. *sigh* How ignorant, no?
Every news media is retarded when it comes to weapons/bullets/anything. I've seen anything from a handgun, a rifle, an SMG, ANYTHING called an "AK47" on the news as if it's the only weapon they know of.
Grand video. I give you mad props for it. It was very entertaining. :) Everything should learn about stuff that effects their world... And guns most certainly do... Knowledge is power!
I am not sure you watched the whole video. The point was not to be an anal armchair warrior. The point was that a woman claimed to be holding a spent cartridge from a US soldier when she was, in fact, holding a bullet.
You are correct, but I think he's trying to also show how the media always gets things wrong and makes things worst than they look. Someone that doesn't know about say...the differences between a bullet and a cartridge, could/would believe that the whole cartridge IS the bullet. When in fact the bullet which is relatively small is just the projectile on the front.
Regardless of what folks think about nomenclatures the fact that Frogman calls his rifle/gun/weapon/piece/whatever a "Boomstick" (also "shooty", "no-pointy-end", etc.) shows that these names used aren't quite as important as AFP revealing their complete ignorance (or apathy) about firearms by reporting this fake "news" and making themselves look completely foolish.
The interjection of Gunnery Sgt. Hartman between the musical interludes was right on target!
I disagree, spend a day at the gunrange and call cartridges bullets, you very quickly get corrected. As far is the military goes, again, I disagree... Nomenclature in the military is very precise. I have NEVER seen a requisition form for "BULLETS".
@soheifox That's a shame, as there is a DISTINCT difference between bullet and cartridge/round and there is also a very distinct difference between the function of a magazine and the function of a clip...that's not up for debate...
must have been an charforce soldier. because i know my NCO's, senior NCO's, officers and warrant officers made damn sure we used the proper terms when we were in iraq.
@soheifox In all my years in the military, I never met anyone so ignorant they didn't know the difference between a cartridge and a bullet, or a magazine and a clip. That is all.
Those are AK rounds BTW (held by the Iraqi hag) not NATO/US cartridges. So this hag reaches into her personal cache of ammo and claims its from US weapons. And the STUPID press eats it up.
it's def edited. actual snipers push the bolt back with their thumb, while reaching their index and middle fingers into the receiver to catch the flying brass
@SamiulIslaam: Perhaps you should watch the whole video before you open your mouth, boy. It says, quite clearly I might add, that the story is bullshit.
My lack of comprehension? You're the one who doesn't know a parody when he sees it. Its a joke making fun of ignorant media personas. Fail more please.
If your explanation is correct, then the description of the video makes no sense:
"The video is an attempt to educate the media on how to detect a bullshit story." It says..."educate the MEDIA on how to detect a bullshit story." So you're saying this video is informing the media how to detect their own bullshit stories? Then its even more ridiculous.
How many times does it have to be said? Its a PARODY! Its not meant to be taken serious. Is it that hard to understand? Stop trying to take anything about it seriously. Man, ask this guy to fail more and he instantly delivers.
Repeatedly saying "its a parody" doesn't refute my statements, nor does it explain the video description, nor does it prove a damn thing. Serious or not, it has an obvious message. Most comedy has indirect messages, you FAIL to see that, yet I am failing. Ignoramus at its finest.
As stated clearly in the video, the story was written by the AFP. I will let you educate yourself on what that is.
The idea behind the video was to point out the inaccuracies in the story. If someone from AFP happened to watch it, they might learn that what they were reporting was bullshit. Whether the woman spoke English or not is irrelevant. The story was still bullshit.
Parody and satire have often been used in the course of literary and visual media to educate others, especially those that the media parodies or is a satire of.
Hilarious! It imparts the Dissident Frogman's point quite nicely, to wit, that most Journalists today have no common sense or suitable life experiences to augment and displace the Leftist tripe with which they are brainwashed in the nation's premier Schools of Journalism.
Though I suppose some of the time they are technically correct with the bullet and cartridge thing. For example, you do fill a magazine with bullets... but the bullets are attached to the cartridges.
I call the pointy (well sometimes flat, but the bit that flies out) bit the bullet. The rest I either call the casing, jacket etc. Not called it a cartridge before. I call the entire thing a round.
Yeah sure like she'd know that US army uses 5,65 mm cartridge that was given to her by a pissed drunk marine in exchange for some rough sex ...:P.... NOT
The trouble with the media is that you could take hundreds of them, run them through the military's rifle training courses, have a few that would qualify Expert, send than back to their papers-- and they'd STILL screw up the reporting. It's not about lack of firearms knowledge with these people, it's about agenda. And their agenda is you should not have the Right to own and use a gun responsibly. Vote for Freedom come Election Day-- or wish you had...
A cartridge (also known as a "round") packages the bullet, gunpowder and primer into a single metallic case precisely made to fit the firing chamber of a firearm.
The correct term is a "round" of ammunition NOT "cartridge. A LIVE "round" of ammunition is comprised of #1.bullet,seated in #2.brass casing (which contains #3.propellant/gunpowder)and last of all #.4primer (ignition source) which is seated in the rear of the brass casing.A SPENT/fired "round" is only the brass casing and used/spent primer. Hey mayby a soldier THREW 2 live rounds at her house which would make her statement accurate.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
since you know more than the ammunition manufactures why dont you go pick up a box of ammo and tell me what it says? 20 cartridges. HHMMMM. your a dumb fuck.
"Cartridge" is a generic term but thanks for your efforts of going into the dictionary to clear up any confusion about the "correct term". And thanks for your flattering comment concerning my intelligence. :-)

its a fact. cartridge is the correct term. so dont go correcting people when they are right. ya douche. fucking military asshole thinking they know everthing. brainwashed bastards.
We're not all brainwashed Ducky. I'm a Marine armorer and a practicing gunsmith and it is most certainly called a cartridge, 71139. Just because a bunch of uninformed uniformed men and women call it a round doesn't make it fact.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
well i think to be in the military you really have to be brainwashed to a certain point. its how the military functions as a whole. this is afterall the point of boot camp. to break everyone down and get them thinking along the same lines. and i know its not a round, thats what i said. they are cartridges.... dont see the issue here? *shrug*
AEnemaBay, Calling a "round" of ammo a "cartridge" is the same as calling a rifle a gun. I just bought some INK "cartridges for my printer and hope they're the right calibre. :-)
A "round" originally meant "one shot for each man present". If you had 10 men and 200 cartridges, then you had 20 rounds of ammo. The term has since come to be a general term for one shot. The correct term is, however, cartridge. I'm surprised you didn't know that, since you seem to have a pretty good handle on the general principle.
Also, I accidentally +1'd you. Disregard it, for you were incorrect. :)
You must be thinking about "10 men" with 10 black powder muskets with 200 musket balls between them which when divided gives each man 20 balls/"cartridges" or 20 "shots" per man assuming all 10 men shoot at the same rate of fire otherwise the remaining balls must be again divided amongst 10 men assuming none have been "shot" and killed (naturally)in which case you would divide musket shots by remaining (live) men and then you would count the remaining percussion caps/primers and div...........
It had nothing to do with rate of fire. It was a quick way of assessing a group's ammo supply. When reporting to superiors, they could express the amount of ammo they still had in "rounds". It was a one-time statement. Of course, if a man died, the figure would change.
On a side note, I would suspect that the modern expression about a "round of drinks" would come from this, but that's purely speculation on my part.
No its not. Theres a shit ton of differances between that hunting rifle with a 10X scope on it and the Steyr Scout Tactical made in Austria. Please argue with me...
Technically, you can't have a Scout sniper, based on Jeff Cooper's specifications. Scout rifles all meet the same requirements, so none are sniper rifles.
That my friend is from one of those wonderful Bollywood videos. Search "Chaiyya Chaiyya" by Allah Rakha Rahman, and ye shall find this among many other good songs that I have no idea of what the words mean, but the music is usually easy to listen to, and typically has a nice beat.
Yes! Mancini's Baby Elephant Walk is on the video too. Actually, I think, but am not positive, there are three separate musical tracks being used. I know one of them is "Chaiyya Chaiyya", and another is Mancini's "Baby Elephant walk", and there may be one more, but I'm not sure.
Do you think it could be the model or type of bullet that hit her house,because most houses there are made of brick or some type of Mortar,so the bullets would have been destroyed,do you think she could have just told the model of the type of cartridge,or better yet the Military show the caliber they were using in that area,usually the Coalition forces standardizes the model and type of its cartridges.Good video though.
3. Your (note the proper usage!) statement is incorrect. As noted in the quote from AFP, "An elderly Iraqi woman shows two bullets which she says hit her house following an early coalition forces raid (...)".

On a side note, I would suspect that the modern expression about a "round of drinks" would come from this, but that's purely speculation on my part.

No its not. Theres a shit ton of differances between that hunting rifle with a 10X scope on it and the Steyr Scout Tactical made in Austria. Please argue with me...

Technically, you can't have a Scout sniper, based on Jeff Cooper's specifications. Scout rifles all meet the same requirements, so none are sniper rifles.

That my friend is from one of those wonderful Bollywood videos. Search "Chaiyya Chaiyya" by Allah Rakha Rahman, and ye shall find this among many other good songs that I have no idea of what the words mean, but the music is usually easy to listen to, and typically has a nice beat.

It's Baby Elephant Walk written by Henry Mancini in the '60s.
skeptikohs 3 years ago
Yes! Mancini's Baby Elephant Walk is on the video too. Actually, I think, but am not positive, there are three separate musical tracks being used. I know one of them is "Chaiyya Chaiyya", and another is Mancini's "Baby Elephant walk", and there may be one more, but I'm not sure.

Peut etre que les "coalitions forces raid" on jetés les cartouches contre sa maison .
Parce que c'est dangeureux quand c'est tiré ce calibre.

Do you think it could be the model or type of bullet that hit her house,because most houses there are made of brick or some type of Mortar,so the bullets would have been destroyed,do you think she could have just told the model of the type of cartridge,or better yet the Military show the caliber they were using in that area,usually the Coalition forces standardizes the model and type of its cartridges.Good video though.

Brick and Mortar won't destroy a bullet in must cases.
Honestly; give it a rest. An Iraqi woman was a retard, the Coalition wasn't the evil fascist aggressor in this case. Just fucking deal with it.

she is showing the new cartridge of the same caliber bullet that hit her house, not the same one....

1. It's "you're", not your.
2. I am not the author of this video.
3. Your (note the proper usage!) statement is incorrect. As noted in the quote from AFP, "An elderly Iraqi woman shows two bullets which she says hit her house following an early coalition forces raid (...)".
