why do they call mags/magazines clips?

[IM SORRY BUFFALO]

its annoying when you hear new clip in when someone goes to switch to a full mag, the characters seem to be a little beyond a liberal and should know the basic difference.

Do you REALLY want me to explain the difference between a magazine and a clip, and why, in slang they are freely iinterchangeable?

Because who ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cares?

This.

A clip is a a serie of rounds held in place.. and stay with me on this, by a strip like clip and fed into the weapon.

A magazine is a container one feeds bullets into, and via a spring, pushes round upwards into a firing assembly.

A clip is NOT a magazine, although a clip can be used to feed a magazine.

Both serve the exact same purpose, and anyone who isn't an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ or a milirary man can use the two phrases as interchangeable words. I cal them mags, but when someone say I need a new clip, I don't discuss weapon design, I hand them a freash magazine.

Get over it, you pomp. It is just a term we all understand.

I checked to floors pulse, and I am afraid it was DOA, sir. we didn;t kill the floor, they did.

We are the getting payback for this poor floor. this isn't a killing floor, this is an Revenging Floor...

Shut up.. I had an avengers joke, but I was scared Disney might send 'Da Mouse' to take care of me...

It's not us that kills the floor, the floor is a "killing" floor. It kills us.

You only get this easter egg after you complain on the forums about things that don't matter.

like the guy in the video says, in hollywood they call it clip incorrectly, but that's just a movie, and this is just a game. Maybe TW can correct it, but I understand clip to be magazine, sounds more snappy too.

thank you. its just one of those things that bugs a few people everytime they hear it, but to most gamers without a general sense of firearm knowledge its correct/dont care/dont know the difference but to firearm enthusiast its annoying to hear the term used incorrectly, just like black semi auto rifles being called assault rifles or someone calling a rifle with a scope a sniper rifle

O_O

and people wonder why I say I hate answering a thread with information as opposed to being me.

Was it the Pomp comment?

[Luftwaffle]

They're basically used interchangably at this point and to argue over it is simply being pedantic. This happens with language all the time.
