Something new to bicker about...engine or motor?

[CFSapper]

That shouldnt be scary at all. I own every firearm that takes those mags. In some cases, multiples of it as well. 4 1911s, 3 AK47s, 3 AR15s. Only one each of the rest though.

SWEET u r my new best friend

i say engine for something that is an engine and motor for something in say a power tool or washing machine etc. oh and ive never ever even seen a gun in my whole entire life lol and i know sod all about em. though i do know the previous owner of my supra went shooting around farms in england so my car has most likely carried guns of some sort in the past

On the topic of guns... Here is me trying to be Inspector Callahan with the Ruger .44

I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?"

Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself.
But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself a question: Do I feel lucky?


Well, do ya, punk?

I did that out of memory... Proper punctuation and all!

Detective Callahan sported a Smith and Wesson 629. And yeah, powerful weapon.

In English I say "engine" most of the time (got used to it here on the forums), in German there is no such thing, only "motor" for both combustion and non-combustion engines/motors. The German equivalent to "engine" is usually only used for aircrafts, as in "jet engine" (just for the record, heh).

As for "motor" only being used for electric motors, the japanese show "Best Motoring" is not about sewing machines, is it?
