Box or Can?

That houses a cat inside it that may or may not be alive

My machine gun feeds from a mobius strip of cartridges.

[Kastrenzo Benelli]

I would say that is a box, but it's metal so when I think of a metal object I often think of a can, not a box..

PARADOX.

PARABOX.

Fixed.

While the metal construction makes one think can.. lets face it, in the modern world where strength is frequently required, boxes are more and more often made out of metal.

The difference I think comes in its ability to be opened and closed at need. A can is opened, and thats it. Its open and cant close again. A box can be opened and close at will.

THUS.. OP, is a box. Not my prefered kind of box... but oh well. >.>

Ammo can or box both are acceptable. Why the Ffff do we care, ultimately? Ditto for clip or magazine. It refers, ultimately, to the same basic thing, regardless of what you call it.

No. A clip is not a magazine, doesn't matter how many CoD tards say otherwise.

[Crash Silverfall]

yeah, why do we even care, AS LONG AS BULLETS COME OUT OF IT, what does it matter

[Altus Nirvana]

This is just another one of my social expirements

[Agares Tretiak]

Altus, I will beat you to death. I will then experiment with how to dispose a body.

[Altus Nirvana]

A black hole.

NECRO, and a vote.

Ammo Crate = Two Ammo Cans (only used synonymously when packaged in the Crate)

Ammo Can = Non resealable container that holds a number of smaller boxes of ammo that await loading into Magazines or Clips. OR the Ammo is in boxes and attached to clips already, to be loaded quickly into Magazines. (Boxes are referred as such in both when dealing with a newly opened container or one used to store ammunition for stretches of time and are usually some type of paperboard construction)

Ammo Box = Actively holding ammunition in a manner to be immediately loaded and fired from a weapon. This differs from a Clip, because a clip captively holds all the ammunition in place to be loaded. The box loosely holds the ammo in a generally uniform manner to allow feeding. That also leads to the potential of calling it a magazine, which can also be true and false because a Magazine is the direct source for ammunition to the weapon. A belt fed Machine Gun is fed by (Captain Obvious) a non-disintegrating or disintegrating ammunition belt. The Ammo Box keeps the loose ammo belt protected from moving parts and the environment, much like the structure of a magazine. However, it is not the direct source for ammunition, thus it is called an Ammunition Box. Not a Clip, not a Magazine, and not a Can.

_{Also never called a crate...}

Cool, no one even mentioned a crate. And why bother voting on this when an admin came along and Ffffed up the poll a long time ago?

THE LORD OF NECRO HATH SPOKEN.

I was a derp and didn't look at the votes before hand. And I felt that crates were pertinent to the debacle.

[George Reisman]

They were, in fact, not.
