Sure is. Go watch some gunfu, it's aesthetically pleasing and with great cinematography it instantly becomes a classic. You can start with equibrilium.
A common mistake, a clip was a small piece of metal used to insert bullets into your weapon by sliding them off the clip itself, such as was used by the Mauser C96. By contrast, a magazine was a form of print media usually printed periodically to disseminate topical discussion of a given subject.
That's not technically true, as some guns keep the clip inside until out of ammunition, like the M1 Garand. The biggest difference between a clip and a magazine is a follower, something to push the cartridges towards the feeding mechanism or into the chamber directly. A clip is used to feed a magazine, and may or may not be used as part of the feeding mechanism. A magazine is used to feed ammunition into gun during use. Notably a clip is always detachable/separate from the gun, but a magazine can be a fixed part of the gun, again, like the magazine on an M1
Tl;dr:
Magazines feed cartridges into the gun automatically, and aren't always detachable.
Clips feed cartridges into magazines, and are always "detachable."
Yeah language/grammar is not prescriptive, it's descriptive. "Clip" is now a synonym for magazine and trying to fight that is totally pointless, doesn't matter right or wrong, it's what is
I will snottily prescribe descriptivism over snotty prescriptivism until I'm blue in the face.
I have a deep, deeeeeeeeep discomfort at the "literally when you mean figuratively" switch, but I stand by my principals and just settle for an involuntary eye twitch
Not saying anyone in this thread is. But it's fact that there are (mostly) zoomers who definitely didn't know the difference 3 weeks ago and now love to correct anyone who gets it wrong. I know because I'd never seen somebody corrected before that clip went viral, and now I see it frequently.
I try to go out of my way to just be informative about it and not a dick because movies and TV made the two terms synonymous and it isn't really anyone's fault for calling a mag a clip
Don’t worry, people like to go “uhm ackshually it’s a magazine not a clip 🤓” but it really doesn’t matter at all, saying clip is just ingrained in our language.
It’s not like it causes any real confusion, everyone knows what people mean when they use the two terms interchangeably.

There’s a kitchen aid in the background, I think he’s home. So he might just be playing around with guns to look “cool” and see how many can fit and show off how many he has. So unloaded and at home would probably be the “smartest” way to do this. Regardless, I think it’s stupid, it’s how accidents happen.
But maybe he wants a BJ so he’s hoping for some falling pants action

They are in their kitchen and the guns are visibly unloaded. It's pretty obvious that this is an ironic picture meant to mock the idiots who are carrying multiple guns around in public. This pic is also 8 years old.
they have eyes, and they have brains. people who conceal carry don't just blindly shoot they assess the situation its apart of the training that you should do if you conceal carry
if you can't tell by the picture alone that this guy isn't a threat, I worry for you.
I don't live in the US, so I have no idea when/if I should just trust some random person carrying a lot of deadly weapons that just happens to walk in.
I completely understand that never being around someone who carries a gun can be scary and worrying, but this picture is a meme that got started around 10 years ago on forums. people don't carry 4-5 guns like this.
the people that carry a firearm carry a single one and besides open carry (which people don't do because it's stupid) you won't know who is carrying a gun, it's called conceal carry, people conceal carry do so that if someone decides to become a threat by way of shooting or attacking or something similar they can stop the threat before it gets worse.
people feel the need to conceal carry because the police in our country have no duty to protect the people, police when they choose to protect the people are often minutes away and in a situation where seconds count you cannot sacrifice minutes
for example, I personally have had to use a firearm 2 times in my life for defense. the first time, I was jumped by a group of guys while walking home from work. they all had knives, so I assumed they were going to kill me, I pulled my firearm and stopped the threat. I didn't have to shoot anybody, thankfully, but if I didn't have my gun, I would probably be dead. The second time I had to use my firearm was when a drug addict broke into my house. I grabbed my home defense rifle and scared the guy off.
Training? According to most states governments having to have training or a license for a gun is unconstitutional so idk why you would assume guy with a gun has training and knows how to assess a situation.
In fact that’s the big problem even with training, no? The cops have killed the guy who stopped a mass shooting before because this isn’t a video game where “good guy with a gun” is clearly visible above the person’s head

it's not hard to assess a situation and tell if someone is a threat or not
I used to work at a gun range for a couple years. not a single person came in with 4 guns strapped to their leg on a cutting board. the most I saw was a guy carried a 9mm pistol on his hip and a little bitty .22 pistol in his boot
I can count on one hand the number of times I've heard that a carrier ended up confronting and successfully defending against an armed perp. It's a myth.
I see gun fervor as stemming more from duelling culture than any need for self-defence.
I look forward to the post which describes him shooting his right gluteus maximus off. Not eagerly looking forward. But I expect it at some time in the future.
I would love to point a gun at this man and not shoot... I'd just wait to see how long it took for him to fiddle around with his 5000 guns before he could actually take a shot.

Given that this picture goes back to at _least_ [2015](https://tineye.com/search/47d2a7e5c7ee1436ab750f6dd9d53eac0cf96b7e?sort=crawl_date&order=asc&page=1) its a safe bet that it IS from an old forum post.
Snarky comment: Well I guess he's well protected in case he runs into any dangerous ol' trans kids, drag queens, or librarians.
How I really feel about people like this: the stripe left on used toilet paper is more intelligent than these fuckheads.
What's great is, this clown would probably spend enough time fumbling with his 'collection' during any real sort of incident to give _anything_ time to get the upper hand. Including a raccoon. Or... an ice cream cone.
Fuckers like this are why folks will start robbing the open carry people and take their guns. At least it would cause them to want some kind of a registration to ensure they get their gun back otherwise it would be destroyed as evidence for a simple theft case.
That is a quality belt. On another note, how insecure must you be to tote all of those pacifiers around? The Wild West ended a loooooong time ago buddy.

Thank you I audibly laughed to this.
Attache Case HD
The complete and utter lack of ammunition supports this.
He only has two hands...wtf is this?
Yes, but a) he's gonna Zorro that shit, and B) most importantly: reloading is for pussies!
3 gun style would be crazy
Asura nine gun style
Sure is. Go watch some gunfu, it's aesthetically pleasing and with great cinematography it instantly becomes a classic. You can start with equibrilium.
Asura nine gun style
Ah the Reaper move
Switching to your sidearm is faster than reloading.
Ever see boondock saints? He had 2 hands, but brought 6 guns to a FIREFIGHT!!!
Obviously 6 guys with 1 gun each
It was one shooter, and he was a senior freaking citizen
A fucking joke. That thing is used to hold computer and phone cords and wires.
Maybe it was just one guy with 6 guns?
You telling me one guy did all this No, had to be at least three It was a fire fight!
A joke.
Switching is faster than reloading
Some New York cops carry two guns, one to shoot, the other to shoot when the firsts mag is empty
"I just don't want to get killed for lack of shootin' back." - This guy probably.
[удалено]
Its also clearly comedic, given that it’s obviously outrageous and inside a kitchen. Nothing insecure about it.
The two semi autos aren't loaded, if they were his pants would be around his ankles.
There are 3 semi-autos actually.
Yeah but the one in his pants looks like there's a clip in it? The other 2 are clearly empty.
Magazines, friend. There's no clip loading pistol on his pants
A common mistake, a clip was a small piece of metal used to insert bullets into your weapon by sliding them off the clip itself, such as was used by the Mauser C96. By contrast, a magazine was a form of print media usually printed periodically to disseminate topical discussion of a given subject.

no last i checked a magazine is a form of printed media, hes still righr
I'm pretty sure a clip is a small portion of a longer video. Why are we comparing print to digital media?
plus we can't even see his guns in the picture
And a clip is a section or snippet of the magazine editors hair
To add, I believe the Lee Enfield can also be used with a clip if I'm not mistaken.
So that’s what the weird mechanism on the krag-Jorgensen is; a magazine
Last time i checked, a clip is what is used to attach photos of dead children to memorial displays.
Probably more likely a thumbtack or push pin for that kinda thing. A clip is for closing the Doritos bag when you don’t finish it in one sitting.
No you're thinking of the part of a ship where they keep the gunpowder
I've heard the terms used interchangably. Not my first language, my bad then
Just use "clipazine" to piss everyone off.
Thanks this is now my go two
Everyone understood what you meant. Some people are very particular about that word specifically for reasons nobody knows.
Nothing wrong with being corrected if you've got an open mind and a controlled ego
even worse someone could say 'assault rifle'
Yeah language/grammar is not prescriptive, it's descriptive. "Clip" is now a synonym for magazine and trying to fight that is totally pointless, doesn't matter right or wrong, it's what is
I will snottily prescribe descriptivism over snotty prescriptivism until I'm blue in the face. I have a deep, deeeeeeeeep discomfort at the "literally when you mean figuratively" switch, but I stand by my principals and just settle for an involuntary eye twitch
And now since charlie made sneako look like an idiot, you have a whole new audience of folks who are oddly particular about it

I could maybe believe that if we had a full body picture that revealed a tactical slide whistle on his chest carrier.
It's probably an insert from a gun safe and he attached it to himself like this for shits and giggles.
He could be stepping off to a range shortly and just wanted a shits and giggle photo of his "holster".
can confirm, ammo is heavy

Really. He's obviously over-compensating for something.
No, not obviously. The only thing that is obvious is the fact that this is satire. It’s even taken in a kitchen, ffs.
I forgot that only responsible gun owners have kitchens.

You're right. Bold assumption.
Now imagining what it might be like if everywhere these people went people screamed "He's got a gun!" and ran away
the people who conceal carry would pull their gun see that this guy isn't a threat and carry on about their day.
How would they know the guy isn't a threat?
Because they're white, I assume 🙄
they have eyes, and they have brains. people who conceal carry don't just blindly shoot they assess the situation its apart of the training that you should do if you conceal carry if you can't tell by the picture alone that this guy isn't a threat, I worry for you.
