  1. History, Development, Mechanics, and Practical Considerations Ian McCollum www.ForgottenWeapons.com Magazines and Clips

  2. What is the Difference? Magazine: Has a feed spring Clip: Does not

  3. Magazine A magazine both holds cartridges and provides the force to feed them up so they may be chambered. If it has a spring pushing cartridges up, it is a magazine.

  4. En-bloc clip (aka Mannlicher clip) Inserted wholly into firearm Two Types of Clip Stripper clip (aka charger clip) Used to load a magazine

  5. En bloc clips invented by Ferdinand Mannlicher in 1885 Stripper clips invented by Mauser in 1889 Clip Development
