[QUOTE="JEVapa, post: 3975118, member: 41176"] Your title just says "Clips". Clips are not magazines. Clips have been called clips since they were invented over forever ago. Before the detachable magazine, magazines were not called clips either. Clips are used to store ammunition to be made ready and then used to load that ammunition into a magazine, whereas magazines are used to store ammunition and feed them into the weapon's action (can be dual duty) Assuming we're looking at internal and detachable magazines the same way. Like [USER=45773]@OK Corgi Rancher[/USER] said, an M1 takes a clip of ammo, and is entirely inserted into the magazine. It's actually a hybrid - an enbloc clip of ammo, inserted into the magazine cavity in a rifle (ammo isn't stripped from the clip into the mag like normal), the rifle has a spring and follower but the enbloc clip holds the ammo in a feeding config and has feed lips and together function as a unit (enbloc).
