I look forward to hearing about all those Tejas “responsible” gun owners showing the world how “responsible” they are.

Hair clips you savage.

Why is a "clip" so foreign to people?  If you ever listened to a 90's rap song you know the term or are completely under a rock.

"15 in the clip and 1 in the hole"

am aware , of course, of false slang terms.

While my experience with weapons was limited to boot camp for USN, the correct term that applies is magazine.

Yep, the real enthusiast's hate the term "clip" and forget that the OG magazine was called a "clip"... as in stripper clip.

It's 16 in the clip. This is as close as I'll ever get to out-arguing someone about guns (and it's probably out-arguing about lyrics, as I suppose both 15 or 16 in the clip is possible).

All that said, I am not a gun person and I know what a "clip" is, be it from pop culture or whatever.

OMG he actually says that?  Every 9mm I owned had a 15 round and none 16.  I will google that.

The guy is correct and says what I did. I still call it a clip though.  I don't mind being called ignorant.

I think the term you guys are looking for is "bullet holding thingy"

While in the Navy, I was qualified on the M-14 rifle. We loaded rounds from clips to magazines, and the Marine Range Master would blow his top if people called the magazines clips.

Ha, I bet he would!  In his defense, a range master that is a little OCD is probably a good thing.

How old are you?  They stopped using that gun before Vietnam in battle if I'm not mistaken? Or did you just train with it?

My dad said they trained with an M1 in 68-69ish for vietnam. Wouldn't be surprised if they used the m14 in training for a lot longer.

The M14 was definitely used in Vietnam and replaced with the M16. Not sure how long soldiers were trained on the M14.

I am in my Early 50’s. I was stationed on Adak Alaska which is an island in the Bering Sea (Where they film The Deadliest Catch) 1991 to 1993. We did anti submarine warfare and kept track of the Soviet Pacific sub fleet. Since we were pretty close to mainland Russia, we maintained a ground defense force. Basically we were a bunch of sailors with Vietnam era M-14 rifles and a few .50 Cal machine guns. We would have been sitting ducks if the Soviets had ever invaded the island.
