I believe they are used fairly interchangeably in colloquial speech. E.g.
"Full clip, do you wanna mess with this?" (Guru and Premier, 1999)
"I'm like two magazines fully-loaded to your one" (ibid.)
- numpad0 3y agoThey're different technologies. Maybe there could be a "ammunition holding feature" superclass that both belongs. Clips don't have springs, and are used to tidy ammunition, and to aid loading magazines. Old rifles and some revolvers had clip compatibility to aid loading internal magazine. At some point the military stopped using old rifles and some revolvers, making removable magazines far more common. But that is not even remotely relevant to the topic. The original article don't even use the word "silencer", nor "suppressor", let alone "clip".
