Clip or Mag? What's the Difference?
This guide clarifies the fundamental difference between firearm clips and magazines, a common point of confusion. It explains that magazines are the feeding devices containing springs and followers, while clips are tools used to load those magazines. Examples like the AR-15, AK-47, SKS, and M1 Garand illustrate these concepts, emphasizing that clips hold rounds for loading, and magazines feed the firearm.
