Terminology.

If you can't say what you mean, you don't mean what you say.

Firearms have sights.  S-I-G-H-T.  That's because they are related to seeing, like eyesight.

Site, S-I-T-E, is not the word you are looking for.  A site is a location and it's not used for aiming.

    And a clip feeds a magazine (or goes into a Garand). A magazine feeds a weapon.
