Difference between Mag and Clip..... (HAHA)

[jbrooks19]

So i guess that since my comment about a Glock using a clip in another thread has caused so much debate, ill start a thread for people to air their opinions about how they aren't the same.. So that way people can stop harassing me on my other thread about my misuse of the term "Clip" Lol!!!!

Enjoy!

I'm sorry, but there is a difference. This pretty much sums it up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clip_(ammunition)

My Glock has mags and clips. I'm special like that.

I, for one, appreciate you having a sense of humor about it...

If you think that clips and mags start a debate, wait until the spelling authorities on here catch up with you.

All of my Mosins have mags. I can use a clip to load the mag of a Mosin if I wish, but I don't have to.

My Garands require me to use a clip, unless I am just loading a single round.

Another difference; magazines can often be more informative and entertaining than clips, but that is a whole different story.

Interestingly the M1 Garand is sort of a walking paradox in this context, with it's "En-bloc" clip internal magazine.

It's the only way I can get the URL copied over from Wiki.

Just edit your post manually and insert it before the "[/url"

Meh! I still slip up every now and then and say clip while in my mind I said magazine. its one of those things, guys just wait for somebody to slip up on so they have a good, cheap reason to razz them.

Haha.. Thanks for making this thread!

When I think of "clip", stripper clip comes to mind, which is definitely NOT a magazine.

I remember reading somewhere that the incorrect usage of clip has been part of the lexicon for over a hundred years...I think at this point it might as well be considered slang rather than "incorrect usage".

When I hear clip I think of paper clip
When I hear magazine I think of reading material for the bathroom

The clip is the En-bloc.
The magazine is the well.

That said, the En-bloc design is closer to blurring the two than are other designs.

Here is one of my favorite clip / magazine pics!

Which is which?
