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

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.

Certainly not to your side of it, eh?

I think you would say the clip is inside the magazine.
Bytemeister@lemmy.world 3 days ago
No, you can have non-removeable magazines. The tube in a pump-action shotgun is the magazine, but it’s definitely not a clip.

Very pedantic for a neanderthal
