Something just doesn’t seem right.

My old man (89) called everything a clip, he trained on an M1 Garand…

Way way back I believe the military referred to the storage building where they stored their ammo as the “magazine”.

I can see it now, two word-smiths in a foxhole returning fire. One says to the other, pass me a clip! The word smith says it’s a magazine. Back and forth arguing….. they both die.
