But seriously, I will say just this one thing - there is some wisdom in differentiating Nerf terminology from real-steel nomenclature. By having our own unique set of terms and idiosyncrasies, we avoid getting lumped in with proponents of gun violence, or accused of promoting gun culture, especially with kids. It's a safe way to talk about shooting each other, without sounding like a bunch of psychopaths and wannabe serial killers.

So yeah, if it means putting "darts" in my "clip" and shooting my "blaster" at "Nerfers" will keep me off the domestic terrorist list at Homeland Security, then by all means, it's a "clip" 😉

For me, my set of terms is, Blaster, Magazine, Dart, and Drum. I only really use one term that is the real firearms term just because there are actual clips in nerf so there has to be a way to distinguish them, calling them both clips or clipazines doesnt work.
