· 2 likes · I believe 'clip' is also slang for 'magazine'? I could be wrong - but that's how I've always known it. I can change references of 'clip' to 'magazine' where needed, it's just the MP5 description?
I have noticed that with regards to guns the word used for the magazine in the game is 'clip' and not magazine. Clip is incorrect; clips are strips of metal that hold bullets whereas magazines are the containers that are inserted in to the gun.
It is kind of insignificant but I enjoy accuracy.
If there are any other terms that you find that are incorrect please post them.

Good point, not all guns use magazines. I guess that there should be a differentiation made between those that do and don't if the staff are interested in accuracy.
Would be difficult to differentiate between guns that use 'magazines' and 'clips'. Weapons would have be categorized into separate sub sections relating to their ammo type, just for a way of words? Not sure if it's worth it.
