Magazines vs. Clips and Other Terminology Usage

Clips load magazines--cartridges clip onto the clip, and then they are pushed from the clip into a magazine. Clips are entirely unimportant to the Lands of Meeriad RPG, as it seems everybody has infinite pre-loaded magazines. Wink

Magazines contain cartridges and are inserted directly into the firearm--the cartridges are stripped out of the magazine by the bolt, pushed into the chamber, and a firearm is ready to fire.

Bullets are projectiles. Cartridges are the self-contained units that are inserted into the magazine--case, powder, primer, and bullet. When the primer is struck, it ignites the powder, propelling the bullet down the barrel.

Oh yeah, and so Stasis/John Gibson doesn't get annoyed, don't call the grip of a firearm a handle. Wink The grip being what your trigger hand holds, while foregrip or handguard is what your supporting hand holds. I, however, prefer handguard.
