This is a clip:

An AR-type weapon will not feed off these at all.

This is a magazine:

It is what an AR-15 feeds off of.

If you attempt to put a clip in your AR-15, it will simply fall out. If you put a magazine in, it will not fall out.

You're correct, of course. But I've given up correcting people who say 'clip' when they mean 'magazine.'

The only ones I correct are my soldiers, who should know better. They just think 'clip' sound cool because they hear it in rap songs. And I use the term 'songs' loosely.

Clips are for loading magazines
