  • Nice catch at 3:24.  ;)

  • so, clip=visible tangible bullets, magazine=can't touch this.

  • Well that was one of the best efforts I've ever seen. Sadly...hell will freeze over before the 2 terms are ever used properly despite this valiant effort. Good job though. LOL

  • @styxbro pot stirrer haha 

  • @LoneWolf051 THANKS! I think, then, I should have written, "...rifle/pistol...," NOT "...rifle/gun..."

  • I think best way to remember is that a rifle/gun magazine is truly a "magazine" in the original, Arabic meaning of the word, "makhzan" (singular) or "makhazin" (plural) = "storehouse(s)"; a "clip" is a clip which holds items together (in this case, bullets) , just like a paper clip holds papers. I guess the point is that soldiers need an efficient way to reload their assault rifles, especially when doing so under fire!

  • @ASHMarine616 In the magazine...a "gun" is a crew served weapon or artillary piece

  • @gunnut8 finaly someone who knows the difference!

  • @ASHMarine616 yeah i know m1 garand

  • Man does it bug me when someone says clip, mag, same thing. THEY ARE NOT. Thank you sir.
