I am amazed here that so many firearms folks are peeved when somebody calls a magazine a clip.
I know it is wrong.
What amazes me as well is the same person that corrects somebody for using the wrong terminology for a magazine calls the engine under the hood of his/her car a "motor".
Lets get it straight:
Motors convert electric current into motion (fan, blower, etc.).
Engines convert fuel into motion (gasoline, diesel, jet, etc.).
Also people need to pronounce it right. Hoppe's is pronounced (hop eez) not (hops).
Just needed to get that taken care of.
