NS Infantry discussion thread

Sure looks like cartridges held together to me.

Go ahead and keep trying though. Eventually you will swing and make contact.

The point is that the cartridges are not part of the clip. The clip is the bit of metal that holds the cartridges and not the bullets them self.

[Triplebaconation]

That's not even a clip.

[Fordorsia]

Quite passively, actually.

Ah, I see. Good men then.

If having no morals and being highly nihilistic, therefore no having higher definition of "good" makes a man good, then yes. Very good.

Regulars, stop talking about clips with the new guy. He does not understand us or our ways.

[Galla-]

Especially when someone says that a clip is cartridges held together.



Makes him almost sound like he has no idea what a clip is. o:

This is what I found when I googled "stripper clip":

[Premislyd]

Nice carbine Prem.

Thank you, however without Triplebaconation's pointer on my clip placement, it would just be a wallhanger.

[Coltarin]

Wait are infantry vehicles allowed?

[Purpelia]

Random idea time. Magazines are not disposable. Thus each soldier only gets 3 which they are expected to reload. Thus he has something like 90 rounds worth in his magazines. The rest would be issued in liberal amounts of stripper clips with which he is to reload them. Good, bad?

We only have a vehicle thread...

[Fordorsia]

Actually, I have a question about stripper clips. Not talking about en bloc clips, are there any traditional stripper clips like those for bolt action rifles, that actually go into the magazine along with the cartridges? Not saying it would be a good idea, just if it's actually been tried.

Just like in MMW, if it's relevant to the current discussion, I doubt anyone would have a problem with a vehicle being posted and discussed from time to time.

So an en bloc clip but for bolt action rifles?

Oh ok then this. You wanna know the best part for only $400,000 you can buy the civilian version!

Hmm. Truly a shame. Well, it'll be a glorious wall ornament in any case.

It doesn't sound too bad an idea... but I would think you'd want more that 90 rounds on hand at any one time.

I was thinking 90 rounds in the magazines and an idiotic amount of stripper clips in every pocket you can fit them in.

Perhaps next time, you will try fucking reading what I actually wrote, instead of what you incorrectly think I wrote.

A clip is a clip.. when you add cartridges to the clip, they become part of the clip until the clip is removed. Or can you not grasp this simple of a concept?

No shit? It's almost like I said that in my original statement.

A clip describes cartridges held together with a strip until they are loaded into a firearm

Perhaps next time you won't speak in idioms that I don't understand. Seriously, what are you swinging at? Flies?

A clip is a clip.. when you add cartridges to the clip, they become part of the clip until the clip is removed. Or can you not grasp this simple of a concept?

So when you add fruit to a box they become part of the box instead of being fruit that is in the box? I would disagree. The contents of a container do not become a part of the container by virtue of being loaded into it.

Nice to see your reading comprehension sucks.

What part are you failing to grasp?

[Purpelia]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The part where you are claiming that the contents of a container become a part of said container once loaded instead of being just the contents loaded in a container whilst still being semantically separate from it.

Right.

I'm sorry, my reply was poorly worded.

I would think that you would want more than 90 rounds available to fire at any one time.

Essentially I like the idea, but I would consider bumping it up to 120-180 rounds in ready magazines.

[Tronold]

This is the last time I'm going to show this and ask for opinions.

From 1 to 10, what punctuation do you give to this uniform?

Your original statement is in fact the exact opposite of a clip.

So 4-5 mags loaded instead of 3. I guess that sounds quite right. And than I can still issue this huge crate full of stripper clips to each squad for anything beyond that.

5 20 round magazines

120 rounds via 5 (or 10 round, idk) stripper clips that can be fed automatically into le riflol

I am not sure about 20 round mags. I figure they are really small. Than again if it was up to me every soldier would be running around with a 70 round drum,

Pretty much.
