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.

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?

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.


Coltarin wrote:Wait are infantry vehicles allowed?


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.

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.

Purpelia wrote:The point is that the cartridges are not part of the clip.


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.

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.

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.

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.

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,
