  • You know, all my years in the military, nobody has ever given a shit if you say bullet instead of cartridge.

    Same deal clip and magazine. Nobody cares. Only armchair warriors get anal about it.

  • 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.

  • @TheDogness - She was holding two shiny new cartridges, not bullets. If she was holding two bullets, they would've been pretty well destroyed.

  • @AgentFour You are correct. I had it backwards. She was claiming to be holding fired bullets, but was holding unfired cartridges.

  • @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.

  • @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.

  • Priceless! Perfect!!!

  • I get it now, the bullet DID hit her house.

    The soldiers threw them pointy end first of course, it's the only logical explanation!

  • What type of rifle is that?

  • 1st AD 1/52 Infantry 66-68, in dasic we were always told it ROUNDS no bullets and a WEAPON not a gun.

    Many pushups for disregarding the order.

  • @soheifox

    only once you know the difference you get annoyed by people doing it wrong. Oh, the price of knowledge

  • what is that? what the FUCK is that? lol
