Mr m4gic XSKvLLX 47	Posted - 2014.01.10 02:32:00 - [31] - Quote Alena Ventrallis wrote: Interesting fact, clips are used to fill magazines, and magazines are used to load firearms. Back in WWII, soldiers actually carried clips of ammo with them to fill their .magazines, because the magazine was built into the rifle. Modern rifles (and Dust rifles) have detachable magazines, thus soldiers do not carry clips around, and just carry extra magazines. TL;DR a clip puts rounds in a magazine, a magazine puts rounds in a weapon. thnx for tht knowledgeable insight there also this post should say "weapon, terminology" just throwing tht out there. Have you seen my baseball??

Lots of military and law enforcement people use magazine/mag and clip interchangeably as well as people who have never touched a gun before in their life and everybody in between. Getting buttmad about it on a video game makes you look like you desperately want people to think of you as a gun toting badass in real life. tl;dr - Deal with it.

Actually, if you refer to a standard 30 round magazine as a "clip" you are wrong. Those who do this around people who know the difference are laughed at. So about those vehicle locks...

I'm sure there are people out there so desperate to feel superior to others that they laugh at them for using what has become essentially interchangeable terms in the firearms language lexicon. I don't know any of them personally but I've heard stories about them. If it helps you sleep at night, do what you feel. Just know that there are people laughing at you for laughing at others for calling a magazine a clip because it's the silliest thing in the world to be picky about.

Speaking as someone from the military, you don't just get made fun of for using bad terminology. You're punished for it. Scrubbing toilets with a toothbrush while reciting weapons knowledge over and over again makes one remember.
Fox Gaden Immortal Guides 2135	Posted - 2014.01.10 22:43:00 - [38] - Quote Lt Royal wrote: Its a shame CCP got lazy and used the same model/animation for the Rail Rifle as the Laser/Scrambler Rifle reload animations. As I understand it the Rail Rifle uses Magnetic Rail technology, which fires a projectile at ridiculously high speeds. So the magazine should look like it houses those projectiles instead of a battery..... Rail guns are electric. Would have a battery and a magazine. Maybe they are combined. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught. For everything else, there is the Learning Coalition.

Nano Hives do not put ammo into the current gun. Only into the reserve ammo pool for which all we're concerned is a magazine bank where clips of ammo are loaded into the spare mag.

For those of you who want a visual reference, the M1 Gararand "stripper clip"... Finally someone else that get's it. True clip fed rifles such as M1, german Mauser 9mm, Italian made ww1 Franchi 7.62 all used true clips that held the rounds by the back of the shell casing's that ejected out the top of the breach with an annoying "ping". Mass driver would be manually loaded rotary cylinder. Heavy machine gun would be a drum spring fed magazine. As far as lasers, who fukking knows? CEO Invictus Maneo~ "I remain unvanquished"

Don't forget, the nanite clusters for refilling of your weapon are located near the bottom of your backpack. Except gallente, it's their butt.

DeadlyAztec11 Ostrakon Agency Gallente Federation 3208	Posted - 2014.01.11 01:25:00 - [46] - Quote ... So much ignorance. A magazine a part of a gun that stores ammunition. That is why modern magazines were first referred to as, detachable box magazines. Hence, pump action shotguns generally have a permanent tubular magazine. Most guns use to have an integrated magazine, like bolt action snipers and semi autos like the like the M1 and SKS. Magazines held rounds together and were used to put rounds in internal magazines, they were not needed to operate many guns but they were faster than individually loading rounds. There are clips for loading modern detachable magazines, though these are mostly used to speed up the reloading of empty magazines, these types of clips have mostly been supplemented by speed loaders. Mag not Clip You wanna battle / Aztec's not afraid of you / I could care less about your reputation / Even though it maybe true.
DeadlyAztec11 Ostrakon Agency Gallente Federation 3208	Posted - 2014.01.11 01:29:00 - [47] - Quote I think that energy weapons' casings should be referred to as chargers. It is a less common name for magazines. You wanna battle / Aztec's not afraid of you / I could care less about your reputation / Even though it maybe true.
