Would this be considered a clip or a magazine?

He's loading a mag using a stripper clip.
So I guess both.

That picture is a perfect illustration of the difference between magazine and clip.

Its a stripper clip.

The object in his left hand is a magazine.

The object in his right hand is a clip.

To be clear - A "clip" loads a "magazine".

The stripper clips for a 1903, Mauser, SKS, etc load a fixed magazine. It looks like these stripper clips load a removable magazine.

And remember. Every time you call a magazine a clip, God kills a kitten. PLEASE, think of the kittens.

And remember. Every time you call a magazine a clip, God kills a kitten. PLEASE, think of the kittens.

The Devil kills the kitten, not God. God does not kill kittens.

Every time you call a magazine a clip, God kills a kitten.

And "...every time a magazine loads a chamber...an Angel gets his Wings."

My understanding is that a clip holds rounds in position by enclosing only the rear portion of the round(s). A magazine encloses the entire round.
Although I often hear both used incorrectly.

Better way to put it is that both a clip and a magazine hold cartridges, while only a magazine contains a mechanism for feeding the cartridges, ie a spring and follower.

Check out the stripper clips for a Swiss K31.
