Uses clips instead of mags or magazine
a clip holds bullets and a mag has a follower in it
Uses main springs for recoil spring or hammer spring
clocks and watches have main springs in them , fire arms don't

Norm,
Once again, thanks!!! ;D Maybe we need a glossary on here to help explain things, I know on some boards they have a glossary for newbies, I think it is a good idea and would be helpful for all, maybe someone here could step up to the plate with this, I realize the time involved, but it would be nice to have.

Connotations are a demographic nuance, sometimes indicating unfamiliarity, but not always.
