If you get into a gunfight with a mun head. Remember he has extra clips in his hair.

I hate "man buns" more than I hate any thing revolving around clips vs. magazines....

I like man "buns", saves the time of talking to someone to determine if he's a d-bag.

I work in Portland. No need for them to wear buns to know...

Now if a Man Bun Rocker showed up at the range clean-up on Saturday, ready to work, I'd quit on the Douche Knot business.

I think, when your job is shooting Krauts, you really dont care what you call the thingy that holds your bullets, clips go in your Garand, clips must go into your 1911 too .

who gives a S what someone calls a magazine? is it really that big of deal? i mean i dont freak out when someone calls my crescent wrench, a hammer(which some of them are good for), a monkey wrench, adjustable wrench, an all 16ths wrench...and so on... i know what they meant and i am not the type to correct someone... maybe im just too sensitive.

Honestly, My grandpas era called them clips. And I still call my grandpa's Hi Power mags clips, just like he did. Mostly because that gun was pretty much a part of him. I have it now, but it is still his gun, clips and all.

Personally, I view it as a sign of being a pedantic person if one is condescending about terms when meaning is conveyed perfectly.

You can use the word pedantic properly in a sentence but not magazine... It's fun gently correcting you guys and watching you get all spun up.

You're thinking of pedophile.

I would rather they call it what it is. I usually take it as lack of knowledge.

I can use many words correctly, however, communication is about passing on information. Clearly, among the older set, which taught me to shoot (WWII vets) clip was the word used for what many guys now also correctly call a magazine. Personally I don't care. I picked up the habit of calling them clips because that is what the guys who taught me called them. There are literally hundreds of items with multiple names.

I just think being rude to others is off-putting.

I can use the term. I do for the most part these days because some people are pedantic and rude. But terms that demonstrably the NRA used, that WWII vets used I view as just as correct.

Hair is overrated anyway.

It's just mating plumage, and I mated 46yrs ago!

I have just seen guys chase off new guys to firearms off by being jerks. I have been shooting for 31 years so I don't plan on stopping. I have noticed that it is new shooters who feel they have to tear people down to have a sense of superiority who go after new shooters on this topic. 90% of the time I call em "mags." No, technically mag is not a correct term either. I do call them clips sometimes, mostly on the guns I learned to shoot on, because when I was learning, thats what the guys who taught me, and taught me safety called them (and some of these... use clips which fill the magazine. In fact other than my 10/22, my first 3 other guns use clips.) It's not gentle correction out there. And frequently it has been some fairly new shooter from the internet being a bubblegummer (I have no idea what word I would use here, so I went with the forum censor.) to old vets, people who do use clips, and others.

But I hate it when someone tries to be smug to either new folks or others for something so asinine. It gives us all a bad name.

Basically, to me its an issue which tells me more about you as a person and how you treat people, than it does about your knowledge. If you knew the number of times numbskulls have misguidedly corrected my brother and I in regards to SKS stripper clips, it would boggle the mind. Generally speaking, correction of terminology that I have witnessed strikes me as new and insecure. And yes, I have crossed paths with some real idiots over the years who make us all look bad.

I'd rather somebody use an anachronistic term and learn good gun safety, and double check his backstop before firing. I'd rather we welcome people in general.

 

[WasrNwarpaint]

I call them mags but now that I read how much it bugs people I just may use the term now and then
