And the last thing, which I know is anal, but i gotta say it: I really hate when people call magazines "clips". ARGH! It's just, just please people! It's so ignorant. I know it isn't your fault, it's the media with their idiocy that have basically programmed people to call them clips. Sure, the M1 Garand uses a clip, and bolt actions use stripper clips, but modern semi and full auto weapons use magazines. You can abbreviate and call them "mags", and hey! Look at that! Shorter and easier to say than "clips". Remember, a mag is for your gun, a clip is for your hair.
Thank you for your time, that is all.

Isn't it also technically incorrect to call most firearms a "gun" too though. Its just everyday parlance that some people use. Akin to calling what is in your car a "motor" when it is actually an engine.
