Lets look at two scenarios:
- "Hey Joe, you mind giving me a hand? My clip's running dry".
- "Hey Joe, you mind giving me a hand? My magazine's running dry".
When you're in a firefight, which would you rather say; The one which is accurate or the one which relays the same message but faster?
Not sure about you, but I'll chose the former any day.

magazine is usually shortened to mag. And it's no excuse to remain ignorant on the matter if we really are saying the wrong word.

If it sounds like a shotgun, and if it shoots like a shotgun, and if it kills like a shotgun, and they call it is a Widgetdonglesnapabober Cannon, it's still a shotgun.

I made a thread about this topic a few months ago listing what weapons have what.
The Mass Driver is the only weapon in the game with an actual clip.
Everything else has a basic magazine except for the Amarr weapons which use fuel cell battery thingies, the PLC which I'm still not sure what you'd call it's ammo system, the HMG which has a bucket of lead strapped to it(drum mag) and Nova Knives which don't have ammo.

Actually a clip is what the rounds come in. You put tje rounds into a magazine. Go to a gun show or a store and ask them you wanna buy a clip 2 things will happen A laugh at you or B give you a box of rounds.

Not that I care but I'm bored.
You may be right in the use of the word but, chill OP, if you say a word enough times with an intended meaning , it eventually becomes associated with the meaning and acceptable.
As an example the word ain't is now a word found in the dictionary and officially a word.
I've been around guns for a good while and if you ask me for a clip I'll know what your referring to.
EDIT: If you go to a gun store and ask for a clip , they'll ask you for what weapon and tell you the price of the clip /mag. |

Despite being a card carrying member of the Grammar Gestapo, it doesn't really matter. Language is a meme (in the actual sense of the word), and is subject to change and evolve as time goes on. Words that had different meanings in the past have different meanings now, new words are invented, rules are smudged, etc.
The ultimate goal of language is to convey information from one person to another, so you understand what I mean when I say "throw me a clip," then the details in its delivery don't really matter.
Dust is there! I was real!

The ScP actually does use clips, most of the other weapons though are magazines. I feel your pain though, OP. Little things like this always did bug me, but it was probably simpler to code for CCP instead of differentiating between each weapon's loading system.

Go to a video game and 99.9% of the people there don't give a ****. My point is that it doesn't matter. Most gamers don't care. So yeah, I just say 'clip' to irritate the 0.1% of the player based that starts twitching when they hear it.

Yeah, I feel you, my brother is a Marine and he schooled me in the same way. Clips are what those M1s used. Where they're disposable, I think. Magazines are reloadable containers in which you put cartridges in. However, we don't know if the containers for our ammo are disposable/one time use or not. I mean, we use nanites, so what's to say they aren't clips?

I would be fine with saying "mag" rather than "clip" but "magazine" is too long and cumbersome. Also you would have to get CCP to change it in the descriptions.

Let's overcome the problem and start calling them 'replacement ammunition containers'.
Example:
Sabre prime: "hey squadberry, I've completely depleted all my available ammunition. Could you be a nice chap and drop a nanohive so I can restock my replacement ammunition containers?"
Squadberry: "No problem sabre, nanohive dropped. This will restock your replacement ammunition containers in no time"
Sabre prime: Thanks very much.
Squadberry: No problem.

Yeah, if someone paused in the middle and said "YOU MEAN A MAGAZINE RIGHT"
I would immediately say "YES, OF COURSE. I NEED ANOTHER MAG"
He would toss me a mag, I would put it in my gun and promptly shoot him.
Don't argue semantics on a battlefield.
But yes, Magazine is technically correct.

Hold over from the most games FPS being set in World War 2 about 15 years ago (well, before BF2 but more specifically Modern Warfare). Most weapons did use clips for your single shot rifles. So it is clip. The players associate clip with "the thing that puts the bullets in the gun" so when they go to a automatic weapon, that is obviously a clip to. Fast forward to today, "the thing that puts the bullets in the gun" is a magazine but players still call it a clip.
But, then again, almost ever branch of entertainment has gotten it wrong. Movies, especially those that are not more military focused, will say clip. I have never heard a rapper proclaim "that the mag ran dry" instead of clip. So where does it come from originally? Who knows but the ubiquity makes it possible that it may some day be accepted as correct. IE, ain't in the dictionary.

my best answer. Who the **** cares what you call it. Its like down here in the south we use aint all the time and guess what oh surprise no one cares. Everyone uses difderent words for the same goddamn thing if we under stand what they meant then why sould i care what they said. I could say "hey you want some coke" and some peole would thunk im offering drugs but most think im offering a tasty beverage so as long as most understood it the few that didnt will get it explained to them later.

Its one of the horrid things that has been birthed from the spread of ultrademocracy. Everyone thinks that they are just as important as everyone esle, and therefore their opinions are too.

Also, agree with OP. It's a Magazine or Mag. Someone alluded to it, but the actual difference is: A clip is a disposable one use device that is disgarded after firing. A Magazine can be reloaded multiple times. Just wanting to get in on THAT part of the conversation as well.

No it's not. Your opinion is a disgrace to the human race, now change it. Idiots.
Its one of the horrid things that has been birthed from the spread of ultrademocracy. Everyone thinks that they are just as important as everyone esle, and therefore their opinions are too. When in reality, neither is true. Most people are unimportant, myself included, and their opinions are not fact, and therefor not important.
If you want your opinion to become important, become smart, so that your opinion is actually the truth. Then you will become important as well.
Clip is wrong, use magazine you degenerates.
Vernacular isn't a measure of intelligence.
Language is fluid and it changes. What you are speaking right now wasn't proper English 200 years ago. New words are added and some words die off. Ever said the word "shant". That word was popular less than 100 years ago. Now no one says it now, because we all agreed that it was super gay sounding.
Just like saying I've got one mag left sounds gay.

When you're in a firefight, which would you rather say; The one which is accurate or the one which relays the same message but faster? Not sure about you, but I'll chose the former any day.
Only a gun person understands, in real life the gun community laughs at people who use wrong terms. A clip and magazine serve same function but are very different in design. The fact that they cant even get basic terms correct explains why the weapon mechanics suck. |

How does it settle it? A clip is diffrent than a mag, their are no clips in dust just magazines. A clip refers to a striper clip used to load ww1 style rifles. Its alot longer process and less efficient thats why we dont make modern firearms that use clips. |

You just stated you wouldnt mind using the term mag the shortened down version of magazine so how would it be cumbersome? Both mag and clip are 1 syllable words. Just one is correct and the other isn't. |

No, that is broken logic.
If you read Advocate Magazine..maybe. Saying magazine...no.
The word gay is being used more now as a synonym for lame or uncool. Even though this slow deviation is hatefully rooted, the word will probably completely change meaning in a matter of years. Eventually the word will have nothing to do with homosexuals.
So I'm glad you know the word used to mean happy. That's a good example.

Magazine: an ammunition storage/gun feeding device.
Clips are used to store ammunition into guns with the magazine already integrated within them.
Other guns do not have magazines built into them, but rather detachable magazine cartridges.
While it's true not many people would care about clips and magazines, nothing EVER excuses ignorance.
There is literally no sense for team killing to be possible in any gamemode.

Terms are malleable. I don't care if you call a rifle a gun, a magazine a clip, a cartridge round a bullet. I know what you mean and this isn't the military.
Because, that's why.
