Re: Doing it wrong

[darkmanifest]

I still don't know if it's appropriate to refer to a gun's magazine as a "clip" because I've seen some gun enthusiasts go lol at doing so, but so many published authors still do it anyway. So I just default to "mag".

Re: Doing it wrong

Colloquially they are used interchangeably, but technically they are not the same thing. A clip is a stamped piece of metal that is used to hold bullets and to assist with loading. A magazine has functional parts like a spring, a follower, and a floor plate and feeds bullets into a chamber. A magazine can be detachable or a permanent piece of the firearm. A magazine is integral, a clip is a tool. There are grey areas, like the m1 garand's en bloc clip, but that's the general rule.

Re: Doing it wrong

Thank you for the rundown (been a long time since I read up on it). It can be tricky choosing between between the colloquial or technical usage when I don't actually know much about the topic myself, so I don't feel enough authority to be like "this is wrong and I should never do it/correct others doing it".
