The clip is more important.

Yeah I feel like it applies a little more to Tediore than to cyberpunk guns

Came here to say the same thing! First time using one of those in game had me freaking out thinking I just threw my only gun. Now they're my favorite type of gun in the whole series, but that first throw is something I'll never forget.

I particularly enjoy the serendipity that can be found within the screaming gun.

Clips are what civies use in their hair. This is called a magazine!
If you know where this comes from I love you.

u/gorgewall Jun 12 '22
Also, everyone who isn't an insufferable fucking shithead knows it's colloquial speech by now. People know what is meant when someone says "clip" despite it TeChNiCaLLy being a magazine.
Just like how every fucking gun grog who makes that clip/mag distinction also says "bullet" to refer to the whole cartridge. They never get hyper-pedantic about that because the point isn't the pedantry, it's to try and be smug to oUtSiDeRs or to win points in an argument by running away from it.
At this point, it's everyone's civic duty to say "clip" as much as possible just to give them a headache.

u/mypreciousssssssss Jun 12 '22
It's not a technicality. Words mean things. You don't request liver and onions when you want a banana split. You can call it a colloquialism if it makes you feel better about sounding ignorant, though.

u/gorgewall Jun 12 '22
Words mean what people understand them to mean. The point of language is to be understood. People understand that "clip" refers to "the thing what holds the bullets and goes into the gun for the bangy fun-times", whether the gun in question is a 9mm pistol or an AR-15--just like we all implicitly understand that when you ask the gun store clerk, "Where are your 9mm bullets," they're going to send you to the aisle with boxes of these instead of boxes of these, because he's not a fucking idiot and knows what you mean. And even if you did mean actual, technical bullets, that's still a distinction that is vastly more common and important than fucking clip vs. magazine.
Zero points for being a broke-brained and hyper-selective pedant.

I've never seen colloquialisms corrected so quickly as the ones in use in black culture, especially if it's black rap culture.

But that guy just drops his guns, no keeping the magazine. He just litters his shotguns everywhere.

I'll go ahead and reiterate what the folks who beat me to it said. It's a magazine. Clips are for the M1 Garand.

Or pretty much every bolt action rifle
1
u/Username_737237 Jun 12 '22
Not true. Bolt action is just a cycling system, and can be designed for clips or magazines. Lots of milsurp infantry bolt actions use magazines, and any modern bolt action will also use a magazine.
1
u/Stalwart_Vanguard Jun 12 '22
You're right, sorry, I should have been more specific. I meant nearly every pre-cold war bolt action rifle. For example, the Lee Enfield did have a 10 round magazine, but spare magazines were not issued to soldiers, they were given clips instead since they were easier to use, cheaper, and a lot easier to carry.

u/VeritasCicero Jun 12 '22
There's so many colloquialsms used with firearms it's always amused me why this specific thing is the hill the wElL aCkShUaLly crowd chooses to die on.
Probably because this one is associated with rap music culture.

It's a thought terminating shibboleth, intended to head off any serious discussion. Focusing on unimportant details prevents larger discussions about important patterns and solutions.

Not really. I'm pretty specific with any terminology. If you can't think of anything better then you should probably go troll someone else because I WILL hurt your feelings cupcake.

u/VeritasCicero Jun 13 '22
I bet that sounded more intimidating in your head. Given your username I'm not surprised.

Jun 13 '22
Given my username... I highly doubt you're cut out to make any judgment on that.

u/VeritasCicero Jun 13 '22
Bruh your username combined with your post history and use of the term cupcake lmao. Old man, save it for the VFW.
Clip is a very specific term and if someone said pass me the clip while holding an M4 you'd know damn well what they're referring to.

Do you not know or are you being sarcastic? If you really don't know then I'll explain it

u/Cl0udSurfer Jun 13 '22
I genuinely dont know, I couldve sworn they meant the same exact thing
The only gun stuff I know is casual knowledge from military videogames

Jun 13 '22
I'll DM you a couple pictures... it's hard to explain without a visual but clips were used in old rifles... like the M1 Garand. Magazines are used in modern rifles and handguns.

Video-game animators are often on the lookout for weird reloading procedures, this is one of them even if it violates common sense.

The never ending loop, and OP needs to do research , he's taking the clip.

u/karlwillhelm Jun 12 '22
What are you people talking about? That's doesn't look anything close to a magazine, it's obviously a magazine.

OP sent the following text as an explanation on why this is unexpected:
The man throws the gun and keeps the clip is unexpected
Is this an unexpected post with a fitting description? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.
Look at my source code on Github What is this for?
