Definition as listed in "The World English Dictionary."
"Magazine;
Arms bullet or cartridge holder: a detachable container for cartridges or bullets that can be quickly inserted or removed from a gun."
tac is correct...
A clip merely holds ammo together until inserted into the firearm. A magazine contains and feeds the ammo as a unit.
A
clip is removed after ammo has been inserted into the firearm.
A
magazine remains in the firearm to hold and feed the ammo.
An
enbloc clip remains in the firearm and is ejected after the last round is fired.(M1 Garand)
