ok thanks but go easy on me! this is my first real gun. i only ever played cod and airsoft.
Welcome to the world of real guns. Let me give you some warnings/advise:
1.) real bullets make real holes so please be careful
2.)
clips are the things that hold rounds before they go in a weapon or in a magazine.
Magazines hold rounds in the weapon. Make sure you know the difference or groups of your weapon-loving peers will most likely burn you at the stake. Like was mentioned earlier, we are an anal retentive bunch.
3.) Also,
bullets come out of guns,
rounds go into them.
4.) MOST gun store clerks are like used car salesmen so go there to verify what you have already learned, not to learn from scratch.
5.) MANY gun people you meet online have zero knowledge and only want to make you feel dumb or pretend they are a character from a video game. XD talk is the most civil and informed gun site I have ever been to on the web so welcome to a safe(er) haven.
6.) Real bullets make real holes so please be careful.
7.) Assault is a verb, not a adjective.
8.) look at the front sight, not the target.
9.) know your rights and the laws.
10.) have fun and welcome to the addiction!
