It also allows more heat at the end when the "cherry" is closer to the butt. That's were they hide the heroin. Only good smokers know that!

It's a MAGAZINE! Were not talking Garands and Brens.

one, maybe two rounds is all it took for the buggers to jam. never got to try the new longer ones.

yep.. clips and magazines... I don't get too excited when people use em interchangeably... I still know what they are talking about.

most rifle and pistol semi or full auto rounds are "rimless" some are "semi rimmed" the rims can hang up on each other or stack in such a way that it pushes the point of the bullet further and further into the other edge of the magazine... you can rap the rim side of the magazine to re align them and keep the bullet points from dragging and causing a possible jam..

soo... it's not just for looks.

Well then an M1's 'round holder' is considerd a clip..

exposed rounds,

Where as a magazine is one where the rounds are only exposed where they enter and leave?

So M1, Kar 98, Nagant 91/30,=Clips

BAR, Stg 44, Svt 44,= Magazines

john9001 · « **Reply #41 on:** April 21, 2005, 12:29:20 PM »

the M1 used a 8 round "enblock" clip , the whole clip was inserted into the rifle magazine and ejected when enpty.

most rifles use a 5 round "stripper clip", the clip is used to insert the rounds in the magazine either with the magazine on the rifle or off and it is then discarded.

lazs2 · « **Reply #42 on:** April 21, 2005, 02:20:08 PM »

yep... several guns use en bloc clips. You can actually load a rifele with one pretty fast since you don't have to remove the old empty magazine (clip) to reload.

Any hard surface will do just fine. I odon't understand why it has to be the heel of one's boot..that's usually where most of the dirt or mud is, anyway.
