"I need another clip for this AK101"
"EXCUSE ME! But it is not ACTUALLY a clip... It's ACTUALLY refered to as a MAGAZINE, a clip and a magazine are not the same thing!"
"Just drop a fucking supply bag already"
now someone give me a clip, my thing that shoots the hot metal deathballs is clicking.

Chris rock i believe. I could be wrong.silentsin wrote:
oh well. clip is shorter than magazine, therefore i will continue to use it. not like it really matters anyways, clip is now just a slang word for magazine.
EDIT: Banana, you stole that from a comedian. I can't remember who though, lol.
Slightly OT: Regarding the corpsmen, they arent even Marines. They are Navy who serve with the USMC because officially the USMC doesnt have "Marine Medics".mpsmith wrote:
I'm glad someone else cares that there's a difference. I can't stand all the misused firearms terminology.
I'm also in the same boat with regards to how the Marines in BF2 are called soldiers, when in reality Marines are called Marines (the Army has soldiers...), and the medics aren't called medics- they should be 'corpsmen.'
All of you people who say you don't care took the time to say you don't care... I don't get it. If you're going to take the time to post say "thanks," since he's trying to educate you guys. There's nothing wrong with that. Further, many of you could better spend your time learning to spell and use proper grammar than playing BF2.
Whats the difference between an AlbertWesker and a cockjuggling cumguzzling Thundercunt..........oh like a clip and a mag as far as modern terms there is no difference....WHO CARES.... so tired of people calling them the same thing good lord.... What a sad individual to try and bring some self importance into your life by starting a useless thread to share knowledge of something no one cares about and you probably have never had to use a clip under fire or mag for that matter anyway.... but I'll tell ya sign up step into the line of fire spend a little time in the gulf and when your screaming for a mag , I am quite sure you aren't going to stop to correct your buddy when he says "Catch man I got a couple spare clips" no you will grin...and sigh reload and keep firing!!!!AlbertWesker[RE] wrote:

Good to see im still behind with army cadets-we load 30 round mags 1 rounda t a time from a box of 30 rounds of ammunition. Takes about an hour to get a sectionr eady for an ambush or something. *sigh*batman_psu wrote:
i have enjoyed some good laughs with this thread. good shit. Wesker, excellent job man. I'm in the Army and I still get into arguments all the time with my buddy over this. And just to put it out there, we still use BOTH stripper clips and magazines. A lot of times, when we receive ammunition before going to a range or whatever, the rounds come in cardboard boxes with 30 rounds to a box. there are 3 stripper clips of 10 rounds in each box. we use a small metal device called a "speedloader" that attaches to the tops of the 30 round magazines. the stripper clips are placed into the speedloader and then are pushed down into the magazine. the speedloader keeps the rounds in line and separates them from the stripper clip. 3 quick pushes and we have a fully loaded 30 round magazine. just fyi. go army.

That is what I like to see! I used to do the same thing while I was in the army. I wanted to take a picture of these the ammo loading process but I can't anymore. Also take a picture of that heavy ass crate the ammo comes in, must be 70 punds or so. Also, take a picture of the bandolier. And the ammo cans too! get a pic of the labeling on the side with the Ball and size and stuff! Shit, take pics like it's a model at a photoshoot!batman_psu wrote:

Yeah, but it's a bit like a friend of mine who used to constantly refer to the entire computer case as the CPU. I know what he meant, but he was still wrong, and he's got over that now and calls a case a case and a CPU a CPU.SharkyMcshark wrote:
Honestly who cares. If someone said "It has a good amount of clips" instead of mags you would know what they meant.
Heh heh. That opens another whole can of worms because a weapon like the G3A3 fits that description, and is not an assault rifle, but a battle rifle.The M-16 is an assault rifle but that's also carried by medic, you moron. An assault rifle is a rifle that is automatic, and uses rifles rounds.

And why does this bother you so much? When I was in the suck I would say clip when talking about pistol mags once and a while, big friggin deal.AlbertWesker[RE] wrote:

+10,000 couldn't agree more. thank you. The point of this thread really was not meant to be mean as suggested by the title as I previously said, sorry bout that guys, but more to just put some info out there.he_who_says_zonk wrote:

R. Lee is a very respectable individual and I love his show and his credentials...however on that episode you are mentioning he is talking about the M1 Garand in particular and other rifles that use magazines integral to the rifle and clips to load into that magazine. PLEASE read my other posts...thanks.Jakethe8lf wrote:
R. Lee Ermey says the magazine is where the clip goes in.
I trust Gunnery Seargent Hartman more than misinformation.
