It's magazine not "mag". Also, get off my lawn!

dadgumit whipper snapper. I didn't make the picture... I just posted it by whacking the keyboard with my cane. Your lawn? YOUR lawn? Why it's been my lawn since cavemen walked uphill to get food and back. *snaps dentures in and out for a good effect*

Not sure. I use magazines. I'm waiting for the MNGT Resident Clip Expert, Heffay to inform us how that would work.

If you guys are being picky about terminology (and I'm OK with that) the thing holding cartridges, sitting in the magazine well of that EBR is called a "Charger" not a clip!

And why would Webster be an authority on firearm terminology?

Exactly.

"words" such as "ain't" "lol" etc end up in the dictionary only because of common use and acceptance, not because they are correct. Remember a few years ago when California (ifrc) was looking at teaching Ebonics in school?

Why would you also leave out the other commonly accepted term?

2 (noun): a device to hold cartridges for charging the magazines of some rifles; also : a magazine from which ammunition is fed into the chamber of a firearm
