I thought the look of the previous pannels were just experiments, but i can see now that it's here to stay.
I absolutely approve of the new art! It feels like the characters have grown durring the time with the comic.
It made me remember L4D's AMMO HERE! ...but i don't know what game this is about

..The joke is that a "assault gun" doesn't exist and a shotgun fires shells, not bullets, right?
It might seem obvious to some of you, but I know little about guns, and thus I am unsure if I got the joke or not.

I do this to my gun enthusiast friend too sometimes. It's always hilarious when he falls for it because I've done it so many times and he still can't stop himself from correcting me.
Quite right, old chap. If I knew you I'd buy you a chocolate globbernaught from the shop.Daystar Clarion said:

It's very weird, because the description says "Follow Grey and Cory on Twitter", but the last few comics have been drawn by Rachel Baggs. I don't know if this is permanent or if Cory accidentally himself for a bit.reverse_rpm said:
I'm a language enthusiast. I don't have to be a gun enthusiast to be pissed off at "shotgun bullets".
This is fully possible and probable. D:SirBryghtside said:My guess is that Rust tore their friendship apart somehow, and now Grey's outsourcing out of spite
The jokes are that she called a magazine a clip, an assault rifle an "assault gun", and shells bullets. But you don't even have to be a gun enthusiast to know the differences.Realitycrash said:

Concerning magazines and clips, this is a subject that I too am touchy on because the distinction is plain and easy. You don't call trucks cars, and you don't call fedoras ballcaps. At this point any media that should know the difference but fails to correctly specify that difference (such as combat games or shows revolving around the use of weapons) automatically loses points with me.
Brandon Webb [http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/01/24/dont-call-a-magazine-a-clip-we-spoke-with-an-ex-seal-about-the-difference-and-why-its-important/] said it best: "It's common for people to get the two mixed up... If you hear someone talking about clips, you know they don't know the difference. No one uses clips anymore."

That quote is basically true but I still use clips for a few things. Some bolt actions can be fed from a clip (Mauser and Mosin actions come to mind) and the surplus ammo that I use for my AR-15 comes on a 10-round stripper clip and the M1 Garand that I will buy some day feeds from a clip. But the principle still applies.Dead Raen said:
Edit: Fapmaster's images are basically the end of the thread right there. No more explanation required.
In the first picture, she refers to a magazine as a clip [http://gordoncstewart.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/gun-maagazine.jpg] and calls an assault rifle [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/47/Sturmgewehr_44.jpg] an assault gun [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assault_gun]. You are right about the shotgun one. As expected, gun enthusiasts really get caught up on these, especially when politicians trying to increase gun control mess up the terminology.Realitycrash said:
Edit: Sorry. I didn't intend to answer an already answered question, but someone else posted the answer while I was busy finding examples.
To explain:Realitycrash said:
Shotguns usually fire "shells" (or "slugs"), not "bullets". A "clip" is a device used to hold ammunition together to aid in feeding the weapon. A "magazine" is similar, but contains a feeding mechanism (such as a spring-loaded follower) to feed the weapon.
Clip means this:
Magazine means this:
More amusing is the "assault gun" joke, since an "Assault Rifle" would mean something like this:
Whereas, an "Assault Gun" looks more like this:
Which is also why, whenever the news said that the crime was comitted with a "military style assault gun", I immediately create a mental image of the robbery/home-invasion/shooting being done with an SU-152, Soviet flags flying, and it goes from tragedy to absurd hilarity. Probably makes me a bad person, but it makes the news more fun to watch.
Hope that helps the non-gun people here.

The fact someone had to explain the joke makes me weep for this site...
You guys.
You use to be cool.
T^T

I'm really liking the new art style.
Good luck trying to hide a tank when attempting a murder.Fapmaster5000 said:To explain:Realitycrash said:
