People who call a Mosin Nagant a Nagant.

It is not about the pronunciation, it is about it being a MOSIN!

The Lee-Enfield rifle is commonly referred to as simply an Enfield. I do not know anyone that gets upset at that even though Enfield also made handguns (and a number of other firearms).

I too get anal about nomenclature like magazine vs. clip, but Mosin Nagant is not one of my anal issues (perhaps because I do not own either)

The mag and clip thing used to get to me. But with all the online azzholes I just let it go. I know guys that know 10 times what any one around knows about guns and they say clip all the time.

My thing is you dam well know what they are talking about so get over it.

Really? I've never seen an Enfield pistol.
