ORIGINAL: thompsonx ORIGINAL: Mouth4Mistress Incorrect. The distinction isn't in what type of weapon it's intended for. A clip is a device that holds ammunition, but the device itself does NOT stay in the weapon. It's a loading aid. Your ignorance of firearms is manifest. The m1 rifle uses a clip. The clip stays in the weapon until the last round is fired and then it is ejected. A magazine is a device that holds ammunition, AND stays inside/attached to the weapon. A "speed-loader" for a revolver is also a type of a clip, but not a magazine - the speed-loader holds the bullets, you stick them into the chambers, and remove the speed-loader. Then there are what are called half moon clips for revolvers. Yes they stay in the weapon until the bullets have been fired. 1.) In the image I posted, there's a SPECIFIC EXCEPTION for the M1 Garand. Your reading comprehension problems aren't my concern. Nor is the accuracy of your statements it would seem. The exception noted in the chart makes no mention of the clip being retained in the weapon. 2.) You know what you call the one thing out of 1000's of cases? An exception that proves the rule. If one checks the production numbers on the m1 rifle it is anything but an exception. It is one of the top ten produced weapons in the world. P.S. My "ignorance" (BAHAHAHA!), even if that was the case, is nothing compared to your attitude. I am right and you are wrong and you don't like my attitude. That sounds like a personal problem that you might want to talk with the chaplin about. I'd rather not know something, but be able to learn, than be a sanctimonious prick, apparently for life. I just disabused you of your ignorance and you are too phoquing arrogant to say thank you.
