Educate me - what's the difference between a cartridge and a bullet? What's the difference between a clip and a magazine?
Edit: found answer to my first question below. The bullet is the inert mass. The cartridge is a bullet plus casing plus gunpowder / other energetic material.

- lincolnq 16y agoHuh. So a clip is a bunch of cartridges with something connecting them, whereas a magazine is an enclosed box of cartridges. Or at least, that's what I got out of the link. That one is (still) legitimately confusing to me. It didn't directly help (I didn't notice what was strange / funny about the image until I followed through to the "Gun Zone" link).
