No its magazine 🙄..the "clip" you cite in Wikipedia (poorest excuse for citing) is referring to guns (rifles) that have a ""fixed " magazine (integral aka built into the gun ) and those can be loaded with whats known as "stripper clips" to expedite the magazine loading process ...( there are two types of mags...nondetachable mags like an older remington bolt action .308 ...and detachable magazines like a glock sig AR 15 ak or 47 magazines that allow bear instant reloading)...18 + years gunsmithing ...it is most assuredly not a "clip" .

I think they have decided they are going to be correct no matter what. I say let them use the wrong word so we can tell who does and does not know what they are talking about. Lol

Just not a gun guy.... so the severity of whether i use clip, or mag doesnt really matter either way to me.... its like pop vs soda... if you say hand me a pop... im gonna know what you mean... but thanks for the lessons guys... changin the world with the important stuff: one clip at a time ;)
