9. Magazine Defined
The modern ALP
magazine is defined as
a removable, springloaded, ammunition
supply component
designed and
structured to
receive, fit, and hold a
specific number of
rounds consistent with
the precise
caliber, make and
model of pistol
10.
11. STRIPPER CLIPS
CLIPS, on the other
hand, are metal brackets
used to hold cartridges
together for the purpose
of charging a magazine,
e.g., stripper clips used
to charge M-4/AR-15
platform magazines.
12. CLIPS
The top-loading M-1
Garand magazine, which
is integral with the
receiver, operates
differently: Once all
rounds have been
fired, the charging handle
is held to the rear, thus
automatically ejecting an
empty 8-round CLIP from
the magazine.
