What is a gun magazine?
A gun magazine is simply the part of a repeating handgun, rifle, or shotgun that holds the ammo when it’s not in the chamber (barrel). Single-shot firearms do not have a magazine because they only hold one round at a time. For repeating firearms, including bolt-action, pump-action, lever-action, and semi-automatics, the magazine feeds the next round into the barrel once the fired round’s shell is ejected.
What are the two types of gun magazines?
The two basic types of gun mags are fixed and detachable. Fixed magazines hold the ammo inside the gun, and each round must be manually loaded into or unloaded from the gun magazine. A detachable magazine comes out of the gun as a separate piece. Detachable gun magazines are much faster to reload since you can simply eject the empty mag and pop the loaded mag in.
What is a gun clip vs. a magazine?
A gun clip is a device that holds ammunition together to make it easier to load a magazine. A magazine is a device that holds ammunition and feeds it into the chamber of a firearm. In other words, a clip is used to load a magazine or chamber, while a magazine is used to feed ammunition into a firearm.
