You'd think people who play a game with a lot of guns would care more about guns.
Its just a shorter, quicker and easier way of saying it. Like cap, jet and nade.
"Mag" works as a good abbreviation of magazine; much better than "clip."

We've already established Michal Marcinkowski wasn't the best at spelling weapon company names when he started working on Soldat. I think it's safe to say we've established he wasn't the best at weapon terminology back then, either.
In any case, it's annoying and makes you look like an idiot; as does every other misuse of grammar, spelling and punctuation. It matters to some people, others don't give a rat's ass.

LOL @ xtishereb's post. By the way, who really cares about spelling and grammar in Soldat. For goodness' sakes, it's Soldat not school!

You still make yourself clear.

Like xtishereb said, just use 'mag' if you want to say it quicker. And 'clip' is not a shorter way of saying magazine as they are two different things. It's like saying that 'car' is just the shorter, quicker and easier way of saying 'motorbike'.

Noez! It's Mangazine!

xtishereb said "clip".

You learn in school to be smarter and more skilled in real life, not just to pass your exams. Do you really need me for you to know that? although with schools just trying to get higher in the government league tables, sometimes they really do teach you stuff just for passing the exams ¬¬

Wow. This topic made 2 pages lol. Who cares wtf the terminology is, in game we all say "ammo". I would say ammo in real life too if I was in a SWAT team or something. "Yo, can you pass me some magazines with full clips inside. The bad guys need to get the hot bullets of my gun to die."

Im in the, Australian Army Cadets, And we have been taught to use  AUSStyers (Or However you spell it)

Clip, Idiots Its the Ammonition Storage Unit!
MAGAZINE IS WHERE THE CLIP IS PLACED.
MY Dad was in the RAAF and he says its a Clip.

Now lets say what the feck Wiki Says (Unreliable since anyone can edit)

Clip (ammunition)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

A clip is a device that is used to store multiple rounds of ammunition together as a unit, ready for insertion into the magazine of a repeating firearm. This speeds up the process of loading the firearm as several rounds can be loaded at once, rather than one round being loaded at a time. Several different types of clips exist, most of which are made of inexpensive metal stampings that are designed to be disposable, though they are often re-used.

(Quoting Wiki)
The term clip is commonly but erroneously used to describe a firearm magazine, generally a specific type of magazine known as a detachable box magazine, or even a firearm belt. These uses of the term are incorrect; a clip is typically used to load a magazine, while a magazine or a belt is used to load cartridges into the chamber of a firearm.[1] An exception to this general rule is the moon clip (see below), which is used to load rimless revolver cartridges directly into the chamber.

Yet again, who fucking cares? Do you really think that, after 5 years of soldat, people care about what they've done wrong all over that time? I don't, that's for sure and for me, it'll stay a "clip".

To tell you the truth, it makes no difference. They both mean ammo.

Seems like you are all fighting over a silly name. Mag is for short. Clip is also used.

the abbreviation is MAG, and mag is shorter than CLIP, clip makes you sound like a retard.

Let them call it whatever they want. If someone wants to sound like a retard, allow them. Not like we know each other in real life and we trying to save each others life.

Let the retards be retarded, I say.
