Sorry, but clips can be reused. I used to it all the time, but these days I am not shooting much 5.56.
For the uninitiated, stripper clips are used to load magazine. Clips used to be inexpensive, available and disposable. That is no longer the case, so a little effort and pliers are used to extend their lives.
Before the definitions “changed”, clips were what is now called magazines.
ie-I often taped together two 15 round banana clips for my .22 long while plinking.
It was annoying to have to individually load each round.
Then a fast way of loading 15 rounds into the clip was made, and for some idiotic reason, some marketing moron deemed that a "clip".
So my “clip” was no longer called a clip, it is now deemed a magazine.
If I hand load a 15 or 30 round magazine, it is not a clip.
Because clips are a string of connected rounds, that go into magazines.
No matter, they most always jammed, if over ten rounds are loaded, no matter what you call them.
Unless you have a really expensive gun.
I prefer a snub nosed revolver, hot loaded with plastique tipped rounds.
It's never once jammed. I've heard there are clips for them now....
Are there even guns in circulation where clips of greater than 10 rounds are actually used?
