Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
What are you guys talking about? A clip is something done at the barber and a magazine is something you read.
The other one I am seeing on a regular basis when looking at firearm for sale is "For sell" rather than "For sale".
Clip vs magazine always gets me as does Bullet vs cartridge.
Arguing over terminology is a way for people to feel superior. <shrug>
Lexicon is important in some fields and even in shooting -- is the gun accurate, or precise? I remembered "clip" and "magazine" being used pretty interchangeably when I was a youngster but I wasn't in a gun family and knew Hollywood screws up things like that all the time so I accepted the "it's a magazine, not a clip" arguments and just pressed on. Today, I just laugh when someone gets bent out of shape over someone else referring to a clip of ammunition.
