Consider- it's pendantic to insist folks keep their fingers off the trigger, not point their weapons at anything they do not wish to destroy and treat all weapons as if they were loaded but it's pendantic and ignorant when someone says "but it's not loaded"
Considering those are SAFETY aspects, I don't see how they are similar.
I don't think anyone is going to get maimed or killed by calling a magazine a clip.....
Or by not thinking a gun can be "clip loaded, but magazine fed" Or maybe the magazine is fed by the clip, and the chamber is fed by the magazine.
Is "feeding" even a legitimate term, or is that just another affectation caused by the ever evolving English language? Maybe the term should be "supplied" instead.
What did "gay" mean 100 years ago? What does "gay" mean now?
I am trying to remember the movie I watched, or the book I read where one of the characters said something to the effect of "its like the old greek past time of sitting around arguing how many spirits can dance on the head of a pin"
I see Owen's point though.
Did the OP say clip when he was talking about what most of us would call "magazine"
Did he mean the magazine was loaded via a stripper clip?
Did he mean it used and integral clip like the M1?
We don't know, because after a week, the OP has yet to return to the thread
I haven't seen the show, and the description is not the best.
Could be a Desert Tactical SRS...it is bolt action it is short, but it has no integrated bipod
Walther WA2000 is short, has an integrated bipod, but it is semi-auto
