Probably the first fixed magazine rifle.

Do you mean magazine fed?

No I'm talking about guns, not things you read while on the shitter. Educate yourself.

>>35111201
What? No.

From a brief google search I got the Gew. 88, but I feel like there may be ones before it.

Mauser invented stripper clips in 1889, but en-bloc clips were invented by Mannlicher for the M1885, pic related.

Mannlicher 1885 Semiauto Rifle

First was En Bloc's made by Mannlicher, then germans stole em for Gew 88's then most people swapped to stripper clips.

I think these anons are right. Google makes it fucking impossible to try to find this via simple search because of people that mean "magazine"

En blocs were invented for the 1885 straight-pull (>>35111338); the 1885 semi-auto used a top-mounted gravity-fed magazine.

Mauser was only good at copying others work and selling it.

>>35111169
Depends on how you define "clip". There was a BP pistol called the "harmonica gun" that used a sliding clip of pre-loaded chambers made by John Moses Browning in 1834) that might qualify. IIRC, the Girandon rifle (1779) used a 20 round magazine. Mauser produced the M1888 (in that year) that used a 5-round en-bloc clip-fed magazine.

Be specific in what you mean by a "clip".

I'm talking about clips, not magazines.

NIGGA BE SPECIFIC.

Most of us use "A device that holds cartridges that is used to load the magazine for a firearm." as the defintion for "clip".

IS THAT WHAT YOU MEAN?

>>35112350

>harmonica gun
I'd say that used a mechanism most closely related to a revolver cylinder, but calling it a cylinder seems silly. What was that machine gun that fed clips straight through like Metro 2033's bastard? It reminds me of that as well

>>35116017
Well, the Bastard uses a magazine, albeit, a really shitty one that's open constantly. The closest you can find is a tray used by the Hotchkiss machine gun series
