kristen, just getting ’round to reading this now. a little late, i s’pose. or maybe not… …they’re called ‘clips’ by the people that sell them: magazine speed loader clips… hand gun 6RD round magazine 90333 factory OEM clips… etc., etc., etc… if anybody thinks i’m going to call them that in an action scene, they’re just plain nuts. i come from a military family. i’ve been around firearms all my life. ‘clip’ is short for all of the too-long names that everybody gives these things. even ‘magazine.’ too long a word. when i write action, stand back. i don’t mess around.

if one doesn’t know guns, then one shouldn’t write about guns. in fact, that rule should apply to all subjects. i read books all the time, where, the author obviously knows no- thing about firearms. these people should be hung out to dry. they’re pretenders.

look it up. just google ‘magazine clips.’ then you’ll know what i’m talking about. and welcome to the 21st century.

happy hunting (if you’ll s’cuse the pun).

I feel like a kid in a toy shop (or candy store) reading this post. I never been so excited and delighted at the same time and believe you me, I am not excitable person and so hard to please but this one is very much right up my alley. I love action films (no, no, no. not that kind of action films) being a product of the 80’s and a tomboy while growing up. I still love them now (I find Transformers orgasmic) I have to laugh when I read about guns that never runs out of ammo which automatically reminds me of Rambo films. I had so many questions before regarding scenes and guns being used in action movies. No matter how I love long shoot outs scenes, the intellectual in me refuse to accept how it s being presented and done which leads to more questions. Thanks to you guys for clarifying some issues. I am bookmarking this article for future reference. Great post!

This one is worth reading just for the paragraph talking about only bodyguards of celebrities and politicians advocating gun control carrying guns. LOL. I know nothing about guns, so it’s good information to have, and it’s always wise to do your research whatever the case.

In reply to iantimothy1.

LOL. I had some lovely times in the UK this summer, and I love my friends there. I am amazed, though, that so many perfectly capable adults can be so thoroughly convinced that they are incapable of handling firearms without advanced training and a jedi certification. They really aren’t that complicated, and it’s actually very much against human nature to kill other humans.

So glad you enjoyed the post. 🙂
