Every time I see the term "clip", M1 Garand comes to mind. Yeah, I know what is meant, but it's just one of those things that sticks in my craw. Call me a nit picker or whatever. This post is a rant and a vent. :fart:

There, I feel all better now! :angel:

According to my college ed-ju-mi-nated sister-in-law, detachable box magazines aren't even called "clips". They're called metal thingies that hold lots of bullets. And you stick them in the hole in the handle part of a gun that doesn't have one of those wheels that spin around with bullets in them.

Are you still feeling better, Smokewagon?

BTW, my sister-in-law is not anti-gun, which I think is kind of scary, considering she wants to legally carry one of those guns you pull the metal part on top back to load because they look so cool.

All right, I'll leave you alone now, Smokewagon. ;D But, truthfully, does the often misused word, "clip" sound so bad now?
