There are 8 POWs but 9 ๐ฅ
Iโm going to be the annoying pedantic person, but most guns cops carry have magazines and no clip. I say most to be safe, but itโs probably all, except maybe a few sheriffs with revolvers or something.
Thereโs nothing wrong with saying clip in this context. The only reason to object is if youโre being annoying and pedantic and youโve forgotten that there can be more than one term for the same thing.
Nobody is confused by saying โclipโ, nobody thinks youโre charging a glock mag with a clip from the open ejection port. Thereโs like one gun in history that uses both clips and detachable magazines, so if weโre talking about that specific gun and the difference is operative to the point, then you can complain.
This is similar to people insisting on โfirearmโ over โgunโ, or โsuppressorโ over โsilencerโ, or โroundโ over โbulletโ. Some of them might be more technically rigorous terms but unless youโre discussing the finer points of gunsmithing or ballistics you usually donโt need to care.
Also, remember the golden rule of pedantry: if you understood well enough to correct them, you donโt have to correct them.
I just want to say that I understand the reference for this and for anyone wondering there was a video of a cop who thought an acorn falling on a car roof was a gunshot and he immediately empties an entire magazine into a car while wildly combat rolling like a terrified toddler.
The body cam footage would be hilarious if it wasnโt so fucking terrifying.
Damm that cop was scared for his life sending thoughts and prayers to him.
Probably saw an acorn or a small friendly dog ๐คท
