  clips.

  Magazines. Magazines include a feeding mechanism, usually a spring. Clips just hold bullets together.

    Very pedantic for a neanderthal

      Neanderthals were fairly progressive, mancaves came later.

    So then all magazines are clips, but not all clips are magazines.

      Sort of. Another way of thinking about it. Clips feed magazines, magazines feed guns.

        You missed my point. I own guns, know how to operate them, and know the names of the parts. I use magazine and clip interchangeably, because pointless pedantry doesn’t contribute anything to the conversation.

      I think you would say the clip is inside the magazine.

      No, you can have non-removeable magazines. The tube in a pump-action shotgun is the magazine, but it’s definitely not a clip.
