I sometimes get tired of gun knowledgeable people who love to correct the slightest mis-statement of firearms info.

Now I think I know firearms about as well as any but I sometimes like to call the .45 Colt, the .45 Long Colt. Of course if we are talking technical terms then it should be totally accurate. I have even called a magazine a clip before.

I did learn one thing in this article. I never knew the difference between burning and exploding was the speed of sound.

the .45 Colt, the .45 Long Colt.

Why? What purpose does it serve to type an inaccurate label? Would you type "9MM long luger" because someone made a 9MM Kurz?

Save yourself some typing and help the newbies from making a mistake.
