Magazines and Clips

Firearms History, Technology & Development is starting a new series of posts about Magazines and Clips.  And the differences between them.

From the first post;

"A magazine is a device that is used to hold cartridges for feeding into a firearm's chamber, during the operation of the firearm. It may be of a fixed type or a detachable type and comes in a variety of shapes (box, tube, drum etc.).
A clip, on the other hand, is used to conveniently hold a bunch of cartridges, before inserting them into a magazine. They are generally used for quicker reloading of magazines. Depending on the type of clip, it may or may not remain inside the magazine during operation of the firearm."

This is just in the first post, and they promise further posts on them.  So if you haven't already bookmarked or added them to your blogroll, please do so know.
