dukeuk Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Clips were given the name, when the M1 rifle was in service, due to the rounds coming in clips of 8 ( i think that number is correct) I guess the term stuck, i know most europeans will call magazines, well, mags, call them whatever you like, i know what your talking about.

TerranCmdr Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 So..... what exactly does this have to do with airsoft and why isn't it in the off-topic forum? Link to post Share on other sites
Lanesracra Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 I call them clips cuz I think its sounds better. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> But it's incorrect, and you'd be dropping and giving the DI 50 if you called them that at Basic. They're magazines because they house the bullets. Clips just hold them. Garands use clips, M14's use magazines. Link to post Share on other sites
Sclass12 Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 I have heard several combat veterans refer to magazines as clips. Link to post Share on other sites
