Hey fellas,
Its time for one of Stormy's usual rants. But on the bright side this rant will be informative and possibly even earn you reputation among certain circles. Every day i hear people saying they are out of "clips" for their BAR or Thompson, heck even their MG42. Its time to properly define what a clip is and what a magazine is.
Magazines- are box-type containers that feed ammunition directly into the chamber of a gun.
Clips- are devices meant to feed ammunition into a magazine or hold ammunition inside of a magazine.
I have prepared a list of the feeding devices or methods for all the axis and allied weapons for your quick reference.
Axis:
K98- Clip (stripper clip)
K98 (scoped)- Individually fed ammunition
MP40- Magazine
STG- Magazine
Panzeschrek- Rocket
c96- Magazine
MG42- Belt fed
p38- Magazine
Allies:
M1 Garand- Clip
Springfield- Individually fed ammunition
Thompson- Magazine
BAR- Magazine
Rocket- Rocket
M1 Carbine- Magazine
30cal- Belt fed
1911- Magazine
Anyways the only two weapons in DoD you could possibly be out of clips for or need more clips for are the K98 and the Garand. I hope this clears things up. Just in case i found a six minute video explaining this topic in detail.
