Being a shooter myself and possessing several magazines I'm going to call them whatever I damned well please vocabulary cop.
You're the kinda guy that get pissed off if it's called 45 Colt ammo when it should be 45 Long Colt aren't you?

“You’re the kinda guy that get pissed off if it’s called 45 Colt ammo when it should be 45 Long Colt aren’t you?”
The proper name is .45 Colt. The other revolver ammo issued at the time was the .45 S&W, which was shorter. Soldiers called the different kinds of ammo “.45 long” and “.45 short”. The Colt round survived the test of time and the “long” name somehow stuck with it but the proper name for the cartridge is .45 Colt.
I love this game!

Thank you, C2k! I misspent a large part of my youth playing ‘army’ and saying ‘clip’ all the time. Now, nearly 1,000 years later, I still slip up now and then.
Also, ‘magazine’ is a bit long to say or spell. Over time I hope ‘mag’ will become the de facto term and we’ll all breath easier.
