Altus Nirvana Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 All started at a range, where someone said "pass the ammo box" and another said "You mean Can" and so it begun. Ive posted this on a few other milsims ive been apart of, its had entertaining results. So I put forth this old debate to you all. Is it a Box of Ammo or an Ammo Can? (Yes, I dont have a floor in my room) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acheron Gloom Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 According to my calculations Ammo Sardine Tin is the more prevalent term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acheron Gloom Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Yeah but google says ammunition sardine tin is up to 4x more than ammunition can or ammunition box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyphre Iredell Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Can is a more classical term as references the original construct. The methodology of its use and presence was unrelated to the box of that era. Use of metal over other substances was also notable (versus wood or polymers).

Lanny Ansar Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I still call them Cans. But that's mostly because most of the ammo i've ever used was in the form of 7.62x39 ammunition, packed in individual cardboard BOXES of 20 rounds, and vaccu-sealed into a CAN, that required a special Opener (IE: Sardine Can).

George Reisman Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I still call them Cans. But that's mostly because I'm completely wrong. :DBut no, I could see how you would call THAT a can, but not a big 'ole box like the one above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsume Xiao Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I would call that a box.This is something I would call a can.I think of a box as something that is re-sealable, where as a can is one time open. Like tuna, sardines, soup... or beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
