A clip is what a M1 Garand uses, a clip is what the MP40 uses. Try saying they're the same thing in /k some time, it's kinda funny.

A pistol can have a clip. A revolver (a type of pistol) uses a chamber cylinder instead of a clip to hold the bullets. (ie. You're an idiot)

A magazine and clip are the same.

look look general rule of thumb. y'all are thinkin way too deep into this.

for a semi-auto pistol it's called a clip.
for a semi-auto rifle it's a magazine.

magazines and clips are NOT the same.

if the bullet is designed for long range (thus long shell casing) it gets loaded into a magazine.

short range bullets (small shell casing) go into a clip.

there's a size difference between the two. and if you need proof, go into /k/ (weapons) and request some pictures for clarification.

It isn't a hard concept to get. Every weapon has a magazine, some have external ones, some do not. A magazine is what holds the ammunition prior to it entering the chamber. An autoloader has a removable magazine, where a revolver does not. A clip is something that aids in loading ammunition into a magazine. Speed loaders for revolvers are clips. A better example is a K98. The K98 was usually loaded with 5-round stripper clips, which load into the internal magazine.

not really... a mauser variant was loaded from stripper clips, while modern handguns usually load from magazines. Thus, there is no hard and fast rule for which weapons use which type: clips or mags.

we do know, however, that they are not the same. Magazines are independant boxes of ammunition that you attach to the weapon, while clips help in loading integral magazines, as>>352747stated.

"Clips" hold the ammo until it is chambered and fired sam as a magazine but clips have no moving parts or springs. The loading device for the M1 Garand is a clip, specifically an 'en bloc clip'.

Box magazines can be either internal or external, fixed or detachable.
There are also tubular magazines such as the ones on many .22 rifles and lever action rifles.

You don't hear the term "clip" used incorrectly quite as much as you used to but it's still pretty common.

Clip: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clip_%28ammunition%29

Magazine: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magazine_%28firearm%29

A magazine is a general description of something that wholly contains and feeds multiple rounds of ammunition for a firearm. A clip may be an essential part of a magazine but its function is limited to partial retention/alignment of the cartridges within the magazine or cylinder; ususally they're just a disposable package that speeds reloading for internal magazines.

Clips are largely absent from modern firearms with the exception of moon clips for revolvers.

I gave up on trying to explain the difference between "clips" and "magazines" (I sell fake guns for a living). Pretty much you know you're right, but the person who will call a mag a clip will continue to do so no matter what, no matter how hard you emphasize the word "magazine" each time they ask if you "have any extra clips" for this gun.

Why the hell do you care so much what people call it? If you know what they're talking about, the goal of communication is accomplished: Understanding. Unless someone is being a pretentious smart-ass, nobody who goes in to a gun store and asks for "clips" is any more likely to get a hair clip than someone asking for "magazines" is to get a few copies of Hustler.

They're just words. Go look at some titties, have a beer and settle the fuck down about it.
