to me “magazines” is the same as Political Correct snob crap. I've been around guns my whole life and had my first 22 at age 8. All that time I've called them clips and don't give a damn who likes it or not. Matter of fact, everyone else I grew up with called them clips. This is in N. Calif. Maybe they are magazines at Harvard. LOL Playboy is a magazine.

We're just going by the terminology that the US military and the manufacturers use. If you designate them incorrectly in the military, you might end up doing something similar to the "This is my weapon, this is my gun" song for a few hours.
Mechanically speaking, you are using the wrong terminology. If this doesn't concern you, than you simply spurn education.

Dead wrong!
Clips were used in M-1’s in WW2, Magazines are used in all post WW2 light weapons for a good reason. magazines keep dirt and mud out of the receiver. If clips were used in Vietnam, our KIA count would have been triple what it was.
Get it right......Clips and Magazines are NOT the same thing.
