So somebody on a videogame forum just answered me this: Put

Its planetside 2 ....

Clips are for loading magazines, which can be internal or external.

>>28366787
Eh, no. You use clips to put cartridges into fixed, internal magazines inside rifles or external, removable magazines. The cartridges don't feed directly from a clip. The clip is a tool to ease loading of magazines.

>>28367069
UNess it's that weird Hotchkiss jap knock off MG from ww2.

>>28367069
In which case, would that mean that an en bloc is technically a magazine?

>>28367469
No because the enbloc goes into a magazine, so it's a clip. Hope that helps.

>>28367469
no it's an en bloc clip. it's just a unique clip.

>>28367485
>>28367489
Fair enough, which just means its distinct from a stripper clip in of that you don't remove it when loading.

>>28367496
Correct.

Who gives a fuck. I know people that have interchanged those words and they've grew up, and shot guns since before you and that entire forum was born. Doesn't make a difference, the term isn't correct, but they know what you're talking about

>>28367508
hence the PING of a garand

>>28367588
>it's ok to be willingly retarded if you've done it for a long time

>>28367588
That's how language evolves and becomes better.

My dad uses clip most of the time. I say magazine. What I don't do is correct him like some kind of fucking pedant. He knows what he means. I know what he means. But I'm not about to start trying to school him on gun shit, because he knows more than me.

then you have a fixed hopper

>>28368742
Shit man, might as well start calling sedans trucks, I mean, they're both cars, right?

Fuck it's not like it's a single fucking switch of a word.

Hell, words like niggers and blacks are now synonymous, as well as whities and crackas, chinks and chongs, nigs and nogs, fags and op. Same category of shit must obviously allow for incorrect terminology when you've grown up sucking on daddy's appeal to authority.

>>28366787
WHAT they do is the same. Hold ammo.

HOW they do it, is different. Sliding over rims or contained in a box under spring pressure.

WHY they do is also different. Clips are used for loading magazines. If this magazine is integrated into a firearm or removable does not matter. The function is the same.

Check out this clip

>>28368742
Call an alternator a generator because fuck proper terminally

>>28366787
Sounds like From the Depths since they call the magazines for the advanced cannons "clips". It slightly triggers my autism but I still play that shit.

>>28370444
i read well enough to know that is not how you spell learn. idiot.

>>28371272
I've seen test books use both "alternator" and "AC generator"

>>28368742
Exactly this.
Most the men in my family only hunthe and could give a shit less about miniscule things like using one word instead of another. I'll give my friends shit if they said clip but I'm not gonna interrupt my grandpa when he's talking.

That's a speed loader, these are clips.

My styer m95 wants a word

>>28373393
Ac generator needs to have an external voltage regulator.

Alternator has a voltage regulator built in

Why am I autistic?

>>28374716
Yes, most soldiers (people who actually use weapons for their intended purpose) use clip and mag interchangeably.

Of course /k/ is too autistic for that.

>>28374728
Maybe Vietnam era, not now.

>>28366790
Probably a vanu shitter

>>28374728
It's due to the military transitioning from clip fed to detachable magazine fed rifles. There was no internet back then so it was a lot easier to fuck up your terminology.

>>28374716

That's not so bad.

I recently realized that my dad and his brothers who joined the Nasty Girls have a terrible memory of the M16

>Dad used to say you could put any caliber from 9mm to .308 into the M16 rifle and it would shoot
I didn't figure out this was bullshit until I got into firearms

>Uncle thinks the M16 is a .308 and nothing but. Claims he used to wear a deact .308 cartridge from his rifle on his tag chain.
>I tried to correct him but he wouldn't have it. When I told him he was thinking of something like the AR10, he told me the AR10 is .223

You don't have to call him out in front of everyone, you know.

>>28374728
I know, I didn't even mean to say it. It just came out. I wanted to BS and ask "or is it? Could you explain the differences to me" but didn't want to interrupt the whole fight scene. He still knows at least three times what I know about guns, I'm just a fag.

I must be the only person who doesn't care about clip/magazine. That and silencer/suppressor.
