So whats the difference between a clip and a magazine

>>33652050
Literally none. People only started to hate it because stupid fake "gangsters" and teenagers started saying it to sound cool.

Magazine has a spring inside of it that is designed to feed cartridges into the firearm. Usually are in a box or a drum configuration.

A clip is a general sheet tab used to contain cartridges by themselves. Most common clips are stripper clips which are used to hold cartridges together to feed into a rifle's fixed magazine. There is an exception with the Enbloc clip, which holds the cartridges together in a clam style tab to assist with feeding certain weapon systems (notably the M1 Garand's).

Both are often used interchangeably in the similar sense that someone who's not familiar with computers mixes RAM and ROM memory. While they have the similar values and generally work for computers, people say them interchangeably.

TL;DR
Magazines are spring powered, clips aren't. People usually use them interchangeably cause they either don't know or are too deep into the dumb to change their glossary.

Shut the fuck up nigger.

A magazine feeds rounds into the gun or firing mechanism.

A clip holds rounds or can be used to load a magazine.

There are very few exceptions to the rule.

>both are bits of metal that hold bullets, and you put them in a gun to make the gun shoot bullets

this is like getting mad when someone calls earbuds 'headphones'

>>33652409
>both have wheels, and use engines to move things places

this is like getting made when someone calls cars 'trains'

Most guns (except single shot) are fed by magazines. Some are external (like the one pictured earlier) and some are internal. Clips are used to speed load magazines rather than loading them one bullet at a time.

A gun feeds from a magazine, some magazines can be filled with the use of clips.

See how the rounds in this image are being pressed down from the clip into the magazine? The clip is then removed/discarded, the magazine having been filled.

Not really, generally, clips don't load guns. Clips speed load magazines and magazines feed rounds into the chamber

A clip loads a magazine.
A magazine loads the firearm.

For example, my Mauser rifle has an internal magazine. If I want it loaded quickly, I fill that magazine using a clip like this one.

>>33653200
Naw. A clip loads a pistol and a magazine loads a rifle.

Tell me the name of the object in the image I posted.

>>33652456
Words have meanings. Use the correct word so you're understood, retard.

>>33653343
Why is a clipazine from California? NY, NJ and many other places are anti-assaultclips
>>33653552
What is colloquial language. If the other person understands what you mean, don't be so triggered.
