USAF and small weapons / ammo manufactures. You're right - military nomenclature (US) uses very precise (and verbose) terminology: "magazine" is always used strictly. Though the words "gun" and "rifle" are dropped in favor of "weapon" in some cases. What I find is that the longer you're out, the more the language becomes civilian - unless you're a hardcore / die-hard kind of person.
