This is what I think of when I hear magazines referred to as clips.

I think that dummies need a forum too. They should be allowed to dress up in expensive cloths and find flocks of other dummies to talk to and parrot their thoughts. I just think they shouldn't be in government.

But then he calls it a 30-magazine clip, which is even better.

And when you finish using your high capacity clip it cannot be reloaded. By banning these clips we will dry up the supply!

Personally it just bothers me when someone calls it a "magazine clip." Makes me wonder about their firearm safety training.

So are they called magazines for pistols and clips for rifles??
Looks like Remington calls them both.

My kids have been around firearms their entire lives and I still struggle with them on terminology like this. It is the influence of movies and media in general.

But do they make "30 magazine clips"?

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Would this be considered a "two magazine clip"?

Who brought about and when did this anger about the terminology start? Most of the old vets called them clips for their .45s and M1 Carbines. No one ever yelled at them about it. So I am just curious about the level of anger it seems to cause now.

I am not angered by this I just try to keep a clear line of communication when firearms are concerned.

Its an imaginary passphrase into the world of the knowledgeable about firearms. Context: Ha! Stupid NEWB doesn't know the difference between a clip and a magazine. Oddly, you seldom see it when it come to"bullet" vs "cartridge" or "grip" vs "stocks".

Ok, I'll pretend to be a noob asking the stupid questions. I honestly don't get the difference between magazine and clip. The terms seem to be used interchangeably. Is calling a magazine a "clip" totally incorrect, or is it just passe?
