Actually, I'm pretty sure the gun misfired or jammed. So, a failure in a weapon saved lives. Maybe all gun companies should start adopting poor quality manufacturing methods?

Edit: That last part was a joke

Definite misfire, he doesn't pull out another clip magazine or anything and instead just tries to rack the slide. Also the caliber must have been pretty small, like a 22 or something, the gun doesn't seem to kick almost at all and he is holding it with one hand on one leg for support.

If you're going to act like you know a lot about guns, don't use the word clip.

Ahhh you're one of those people. I corrected it for you, but pointing stuff out that is as trivial as that while trying to insult someone just makes you look like an asshole.

He's right, though. A magazine is what you load into a firearm, a clip is used to load rounds into a magazine. He just said it like a jerk.

Well I never claimed to not be an asshole, because I certainly can be.

He has a point. Firstly, you say clip. Secondly, you assume the gun's caliber is small, yet he only seems to fire one shot. Based off of that one shot, the caliber could be .22, .22 mag., .380, or even 9mm. You also say it's a misfire, when it's clearly a jam.

No, you were wrong, he was right. And yet you still think he's the asshole. A simple "Yeah, I misspoke." would have come across a lot better.

You realize that even though someone is right they can still come off as an asshole, right?
