The term “clips” for automatics instead of magazine. (FYI, it is a legit term for revolvers which use ‘moon clips’ as a type of speed loader.)

I was surprised that one was not on the list. That one bothers me more than ANY other single “gaffe” made during discussions about guns.

My favorite is when they call a shotgun a “rifle”.

Don’t forget WWI and WWII rifles that use stripper clips.
