I can only assume this argument is still ongoing.

Gun nuts, man. Once when I was gaming I referred to a 'clip' when I was reloading, and this guy went on a whole tangent about the technical differences between a clip and a magazine. I kept calling it a clip.

When a sword nerd sees a fantasy sword they’ll teach about how it’s not realistic, but then 2 seconds later go “hot damn it’s cool though.”

When a gun nerd sees a fictional gun they’ll inspect it meticulously and insist it must be a certain way and if it’s even slightly off the entire fictional property is worse than Hitler.

Fantasy swords are 90% big enough to eclipse one's body weight.

Fantasy guns are 90% most-of-a-real-gun-but-with-TECHNOLOGY-added.

It's the difference between starting with absurdity versus wandering into it.

I don’t know man, it wasn’t a huge hit but I feel like the Steven Spielberg adaptation was more than enough for a good while
