BTW, AR-15s (can) use clips, as well. 5.56mm rounds are sometimes packed in 10 round (stipper) clips, for easy loading of the 20 and 30 round magazines. There's a little gadget that attaches to the back of the mag, to properly align the clip.

Yep, have some of those for my M1A. I'm grinching about people calling the "magazine" a "clip", since these are clearly separate devices. It really raises the hair on the back of my neck when gun owners misuse the term.

I sure hope you are not one of those. ;-D
