My friend refuses that there is a "T" at the end of Nagant. It makes me sooo pissed!

Well, technically speaking the T is silent. If you were to pronounce it correctly, it would be mooseen-nagohn. It sounds weird as hell because Mosin was Russian and Nagant was French Belgian. I just pronounce it with my normal accent.

No dude, he spells it "Mossin-Nagan"

He can't pronounce Kalashnikov either

So, a buddy of mine who watched King Kong in 2005 when that came out thought the Tommy Guns were PPshs. Mostly because of the drum magazine.

I could care less about people who don't know about guns. I don't know anything about cars and I drive one.

^that's a great point. never thought of it that way.
we should treat all equal, no matter how ridiculous it may be.

I think it is good to know a little about the car you drive so that if something happens, you know about it. Same with guns. If you own a gun, you should know the basics about it. A lot of people don't even know how to clean their own guns. They just buy one and keep it locked up in a safe without ever training with it.

I keep wondering how the whole clip and mag thing started.
