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.

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.
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".

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!!!!

So i m stupid and i dont know the difference between clips and magazines lol. Best one i heared in a while...

Mmm lets see, was it the clip i used to fill my mags in the dutch army or did we use empty mags to fill our clips? Wait a minute... its all coming back... my drillinstructor gave us small cardboard boxes containing bullets on plastic strips or speedloaders as we used to call em... and... yes i remember now... we fed those into an empty magazine.

Edit: the speedloader/clip was discarded after loading.

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*

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!

Clip ( or stripper clip) holds rounds.  Speedloader holds clip in place to put rounds into magazine.  Magazine goes into magazine well.  all is done.

Clips are loaded into older weapons that do not use magazines.

Corrupt, you aren't exactly wrong but whoever gave you single rounds is an a hole.  I was in army for 6 years.  Never did I get single rounds to go to the range for weapons qualification.

PPl who dont know the difference arent stupid. For example, ppl who live in the uk, and arent in any form of military have probably had no contact with any form of firearm in thier lives.
A .22 air rifle is the closest ive ever got

Becasue we dotn live in a culture where guns are owned by perhaps a majority of the population. Does not make us stupid.
Before being so quick to get annoyed about terminoligy,think about where ur from, who u r , and what u do. Then think about someone who is almost the complete opposite of u,im sure 99% of ppl in ther world know something u dont.

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.

I was pretty amused by this thread. Mostly because of the whiners who would resort to pathetic insults when they realised that they'd been saying clip all this time when they were referring to magazines, and didn't want to admit defeat. As RKKRom was saying, it's fair enough that not everyone knows this stuff, because it's not common knowledge. What IS stupid, though, is people attacking someone who hass his facts straight.

I mean, I use "clip" a fair bit when I actually mean "magazine" but I've known that it's wrong for a while and I don't try to pretend otherwise if I'm corrected.

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.

Who the hell cares, when you and your squad are being shot at, real life or just a video game, no one CARES whether you say banana, clip, mag, magazine, it doesn't MATTER.  Wow.  There are so many other words that have been misused in the english language.   

Technically, you pronounce Iraq as "Irawk", not as "eyerack".  But then, some of you will say, who cares.  Half the people who are over there fighting don't even know how to pronounce it correctly.

Agreed.

...Yeah, and instead of saying "Enemy boat spotted" they should say "Enemy piece of shit RIB thingy spotted over there."

WHO...GIVES...A...DAMN?

Yes, I already knew what the difference was...but who really knows about a gun's ammo? I mean, probably 99% of the people who play CounterStrike still think that the M249's ammo box holds 100 and loads from the right side into a little flap, neither of which are true.

And just because someone doesn't know EVERYTHING YOU FUCKING WANT THEM TO KNOW doesn't mean they're stupid.

"Requesting supply drop."
"zOMG its a suply CRAET stupid"
"Thanks. Now we don't need it anymore, our whole squad's DEAD."

...And yes your cat's breath smells like catfood.

Anyone saying some one here is stupid for not knowing the difference between mags' and clip is the stupid one. If not knowing a trivial piece of information makes some one stupid I guess everyone is.  I call mags' and clips, clips.  When I go to a range they call them clips. The only people I ever really here refer to mags' as magazines are my grandfather and, uncles that served in the Air Force and Army. When you have to deal with both types then yea calling them clips and mags makes a difference. This is a forum for a video game not, gun dealers. So if some one doesn't now the diference. Oh well. It doesn't make someone stupid. The person that is basing their intellegence (and others) on some trivial crap is an idiot themselves.

A little clarification guys, let me apologize for the thread topic assuming people were stupid, that was more of a joke and I apologize....spearhead my point was NOT while in the game, it was on THESE forums people referring to it, and yes of course IRL if I were being shot at I wouldn't care, that was NOT my point.  My point was just referring to terms on this forum

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.

Edit: And its spelled Sergeant  , and if you think the two sources posted are misinformation, you have a lot of learning to do.

First of all, my post was a joke.
Second, You're wrong. LMGs use rifle rounds and it's not an assault rifle.
