Damn Joe! If it has a feed spring it's a magazine. A clip doesn't
have a spring to feed the rounds.

Ahem... must be an "merican" thing.... cause a mag is contained within the
gun and a clip is not everywhere else. Not to mention that every clip/mag
does indeed have a spring or gear mechanism to ensure the following round is
placed to be ready for the action to cycle it into the chamber.

Next you'll be telling me about your spring loaded semi-auto rolling block
action.

Guns should be banned in the USA.
