Magazine, please.

A clip is used to hold money or hair.

They can be used for holding rounds as well, as in most early 20th. century bolt action rifles were fed from "stripper clips". I agree that it is incorrect when referring to a firearm feeding devise which incorporates its own spring and follower, which would correctly be called a magazine.
