Bren guns don't have "clips". They have "magazines". Garand M1s used clips.I know mate, but in Britain people tend to use "clip" and "magazine" interchangeably. That is probably due to incorrect usage in films and the fact that few people here shoot and so don't know how a clip differs from a magazine.
