Information AboutClip |
This article discusses ammunition. For other uses of clip see Clip (disambiguation) A clip is a device pushed into the Magazine of a Firearm to load the magazine in one action. Clip-loaded firearms, such as the M1 Garand , need the clip for proper operation; one cannot load loose Cartridge s without the clip. A clip is different from a Magazine . The two terms are not interchangeable. A clip is a device that loads cartridges into a magazine, not the device which feeds cartridges into a firearm, which is the function of the magazine. Other loading devices that use the word ''clip'' include the Stripper Clip (also known as ''chargers''), a simpler device that does not enter the magazine, and the Revolver Clip . |
