So it really is all about the four survivours getting their sticks out and dancing around the tank hitting it to Queen.

honestly y would u load a clip then load the mag with it when u could go straight to loading the mag? and shells are shot in a shotgun rounds are in a rifle or pistol. all magazines are the same thing as a clip but some clips are not the same as magazines. learn about guns from real life not video games u bastards

technically, rounds or clips can load a magazine as clips are just a group of rounds set as a unit.

No.

A magazine is the part of a weapon that holds cartridges to be fed into the chamber, where they are fired.

A clip is a device that holds cartridges together. Sometimes it is required for the proper operation of the magazine and others it is a convenience to save time.

Not really. The M1 fed it's rounds into the chamber from an 8-round clip. It wasn't a magazine.

actually, clips cant be removed from a gun, while mags are loaded then placed into it. I.e. when you load some rifles you push the rounds into the clip through the breach. (which is where the bullet ejects) Shoot the gun, cycle the breach, the clip pushes the next round up to be ready to be chambered. But theres no way to actually remove the clip nor the bullets in it without cycling out the rounds. While a magazine is loaded fed into the gun through a different slot not normally the breach, rounds are fired, you take out the mag.... soooo mags eject, clips are built in. (and clips arent where the magazine goes)

But each tank has a slightly different amount of damage. How does this factor in?

Some of these can't be right, I know for a fact that the silenced uzi has slightly less damage output than the unsilenced...  at least in VS.  and the chainsaw should be quicker than that, given in VS you can literally crown witches with the thing, it does 1000 damage in under a second

I'm pretty sure the silenced uzi does more damage at the cost of shorter range in this game. Yes, it doesn't make sense to me either. I haven't played vs though, not sure what the differences are.

Since we're being realistic, sticking a can on the end of an UZI doesn't do anything other than make it heavier and take away the report.

a silencer shoiuld do nothing to the damage but it does make the gun slightly less accurate. in real life that is. how can u change the damage amount done by two of the same kind of bullet?

Yeah D:< Why cant we make the game about beating the living dead with frying pans more realistic. While we're at it, we should recalculate the physics of koopa shells in Mario, and figure out exactly how much damage a Hadoken would do if Ryu got in a fight with me in real life. FFS guys. It's a video game. Yes, there's innacuracies. Like... the zombies.

A silencer does not make the weapon less accurate. If anything it makes it more accurate, giving it a much longer barrel [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suppressor#Other_advantages ]

Not sure if u were thinking of subsonic ammo maybe.

These are for expert campaign tanks, not normal difficulty vs. tanks, so the chainsaw sounds about right. not sure about the silencer affecting damage in-game, but in real life a suppressor works by muffling the report and slowing the bullet below the speed of sound. As the two guns would chamber rounds with similarly sized and weighted slugs, the slower moving bullet would carry less force, though whether that translates to more or less 'damage' depends largely on knowing if infected are susceptible to hydrostatic shock as bullets 'blow through', or at risk to lingering infection or nerve damage from slugs which remain in the body. 

Also, stripper clips were/are used to load M16 magazines such that even tension was/is maintained against the feed spring in order to minimize the possibility of a jam. In modern non-military parlance, however, the two words have become largely interchangeable.

a silencer does not slow the bullet down below the speed of sound for a "silent" round you need to use subsonic ammo with a suppressor.
