What are they talking about?

Alright, guys. We’ve all experienced it. Maybe even been guilty of it. Mispronouncing or misidentifying gun related things.

I’m not talking about a slip of the tongue or those cats that call magazines “clips.” I’m talking a full on practiced and repeated failure.

I probably won’t call out someone on “LA-pua” vs. “la-POO-ah.” (Even I wonder, sometimes. That’s a hard one). However, if you pronounce “Mossberg” as “Mossenberger” or “Sig Sauer” as “Sig Sawyer,” it brings bubbling to the surface a rage that can scarcely be contained. Seriously, it makes me wanna dip kittens in hot grease. And, if I had a nickel for every time someone mentioned “filing the firing pin” of an AK or SKS to make it an illegal machine gun, I probably wouldn’t be writing this as I’m not sure how good wifi would be on the spaceship I would build with the money. :rocket::flying_saucer:

What have you guys experienced (or done) in this realm? Tell us your stories.

No stresses anywhere? I think that makes it even more difficult to say. Is it because you’re a bot? Lol

Bullet vs Cartridge vs Case.
Always correct those.
Heckler and Koch pronounced Heckler and Coch (like crotch) Kosh (pronounced like Coke).
Coke is the proper pronunciation.

GA-rand or ga-RAND? I heard Jean “John” Garand’s last name was pronounced as the former, but most folks pronounce his rifle as the latter.

As long as they get the “Ga” in there, I’m not picky. It’s when they say, “grand,” that gets me.

“It’s not 1000, it’s a guys name.”
