My first rifle was a bolt action .22lr with a tubular magazine. The first pistol I shot was a DeutscheWerke 7.65/.32 with an eight shot clip.

Using the proper terminology is essential to communication. If you choose not to communicate properly, don't get pissed off when someone misunderstands you.Tsk, tsk...what political incorrectness!Its a 10 round...
MAGAZINE!!
Not a "clip".
Hate that.....
And some people talk about "grammar Nazis"!
Us Older Guys still use the term Clip and the younger pukes use that to feel superior. If they ever had to reload a SKS, they would be dead long before their tiny brains would figure out how to reload it. Or trying to figure out how to reload a trapdoor bolt action. Actually, there are Clips to easily and fast reload mags. So I'll still continue to use the term Clips whether it's a clip or a mag and let the weaker minded PC Nazis keep commenting.

I should have prefaced my comment I suppose, so that it was understood by everyone that I have no doubt the OP was merely repeating the text of the story in the link and is the sort of person who not only knows what a magazine is and the difference between that and a clip. For that matter I'm sure he knows what a sear spring is as well as a gas regulator, gas tube, bolt carrier etc.

If that is the best you got maybe you should have just dropped it.

Because of my knowledge of weapons, I was appointed the armorer of the platoon I was assigned to in France. We were separated from our headquarters company and I only had about 40 weapons to look after. Yes, I could totally break down and reassemble an M-14 without any hesitation. We had six M1911 pistols that I was also intimately familiar with.
I shot Expert with the M-1 and M-14 and Marksman with the pistol.
With the longer 29 inch barrel, it weighs 28.7 lbs. not counting any mounted extras.Seems excessive that it costs as much as a small car. Also, it's heavy and cumbersome for scooting after shooting.
Gander Mountain has those for sale, around $9,000. My son asked me what those would be used for... I replied" Squirrels, very big squirrels, that burn cities and punch women"..
1,800 meter range with a 10 round clip. Been in use since 1989. I guess the Army’s happy with its effectivity and lasting power. The contract is only worth a mere $7.9 million, peanuts by DOD standards.

You would not be scooting after shooting.

I was in when that shit happened one of the most useless pieces of the uniform I ever had the displeasure of wearing. Didn't keep the sun or rain out of your eyes and they coopted the Ranger color. The 10th Mountain was one of the first to issue. I felt like an ass when I PCS'd to Korea and nobody in my unit was wearing the fucking things.U.S. made Barrett stuff is good but will the U.S. try to match the weapons with foreign made optics? You almost gotta laugh when the Clinton's decided that every Soldier should wear a beret and purchased the hats from China.
It's a matter of being precise. A clip is a strip of rounds held together in preparation to quickly load a magazine.Tsk, tsk...what political incorrectness!Its a 10 round...

You mean, no plan of attack survives contact with the enemy?A good plan is only good until the first shot is fired.
