How much does terminology matter to you in airsoft? For example: Mag vs Clip or Suppressor vs Silencer Obviously Mag (in most cases in airsoft) and suppressor are the correct terms, but how much or how little does it annoy you or not to hear the technically incorrect terms?

The mag and clip thing really bugs the hell out of me. Everything else I'm less annoyed with. However, in coversation it might make one sound better if they use the right terms, myself included. |

I was trying to find a movie clip where a Wilhem DaFoe says "Bad television is to blame for this.", but just saying it works. |

I love that pic. Should be posted up on mainstream forums. Doesn't do a whole lot of good on milsim forums. Up to us to educate.
