And to top it off most firearm references are incorrect! Switching cartridge and caliber, clip and mag for just a start. In a recent show mag was referred in a correct way, but used caliber when cartridge should've been used. Even optics have been used incorrectly as in what they actually are (mrd and said scope). Real easy to see which side of the poles are behind tv, movies and other media!
