Magazine Versus Clip

Greg Hickok - Hickok45 on YouTube - has come out with a short video showing the differences between a clip and a magazine. You wish this would be required viewing for every journalist or politicians who decides to opine about banning "high capacity assault clips" in the wake of the Newtown shootings. As Greg says in the video, he doesn't know of any clips that hold more than 10 rounds.

This would also be a good video to share with your newbie shooter friends who may have rushed out to buy a firearm for the first time in the last month or so. It will help them learn the correct terminology and feel a little less like a neophyte.

For Journalists - Clips Versus Magazines

Thanks to SayUncle we have a way of educating even the most dense of journalists on the difference between clips and magazines. It also works for grandstanding politicians.

Robb at Sharp As A Marble helps to educate journalist as well as to the difference. Below is a 30-round clip courtesy of Weer'd Beard.
