I'm not even a resident firearms nut, but for fuck's sake, how have we come five editions and we're calling magazines "clips." It's not nitpicking. It's not splitting hairs. One term is correct. The other is not.
It's a simple Find & Replace, guys. Just because it has been wrong for so long is not a good reason for it to continue to be wrong. |
