The first non single shot rifle he ever fired was probably an M1. You need to blame the WW2 vets who started calling everything else "clips".
That's how we got to chicks-with-clips.
They do clip into the bottom of the rifle, I wonder if that wasn't part of how it started.
Break
verb 1. separate or cause to separate into pieces
Like it does to the column of escaping gas. Muzzle break.
I can see both sides of this argument, at 80+ some leeway, he might still call "african americans" negro. And that is not a "bad" term, just a term used "way back when".
I know a bit apples and oranges, but the best I have off the top of my head.
I am very firm in the camp that words mean things, and agree with @DarnYankeeUSMC the correct term should be used. Everyone forgets now and again something or another.
Clip, mag, there are differences. Using the correct terms for everything I think is a issue currently. Racist and Nazi are two terms that get banted around without the real understanding of the meaning.
