In Korea the M-1 Garand had a “clip”, the M-1 and M-2 and M-1A3 carbines had “15” and “30” round “clips” and sometimes we “taped” em’ together. So too with the “grease gun” or “Riesling” gun, I never heard “magazine” unless it was “Life” or “Look”. And the “Thompson”, .45, it had a “drum” or a “clip”, the “Burp” guns had “drums”. I think you should be more concerned about “an Anger Management Course” and I'd hate to be your wife....

dad hated the Reising gun.....POS he called it.
traded it in on the ‘Canal’ for the enemic, though reliable M1 Carbine....and against the lightweight Japanese dressed for the tropics...it worked just fine.
it was in Korea that the ‘car-bean’ really showed its weaknesses....I love mine...lots of fun to shoot.
