He actually says "bullet", I would interpret that literally - just the bullet, not a full shell and definitely not any gunpowder.

- jat850 16y agoThat's possible; if so, the word "unused" threw me off. But your interpretation could also be right too.
- ceejayoz 16y agoVirtually everyone I know would call a "cartridge" a "bullet", just as they might confuse "clip" and "magazine".
- lincolnq 16y agoEducate me - what's the difference between a cartridge and a bullet? What's the difference between a clip and a magazine? Edit: found answer to my first question below. The bullet is the inert mass. The cartridge is a bullet plus casing plus gunpowder / other energetic material.

- lincolnq 16y agoHuh. So a clip is a bunch of cartridges with something connecting them, whereas a magazine is an enclosed box of cartridges. Or at least, that's what I got out of the link. That one is (still) legitimately confusing to me. It didn't directly help (I didn't notice what was strange / funny about the image until I followed through to the "Gun Zone" link).
