clip v. magazine

A clip is a device that holds multiple cartridges together to facilitate loading rounds into the magazine of a firearm. Common designs include en-bloc, stripper, and moon clips.

A magazine is a container with a spring mechanism used to store and load rounds into the chamber of a repeating firearm. Magazines may be internal or detachable, and are often shaped like a box, drum, or tube.

A clip fits inside a magazine, lacks a spring-loaded feed mechanism, and is never fixed to the weapon.
