Clip(s) is a term used to describe a metal retainer that binds several rounds of ammunition together so that it may be rapidly loaded into a firearm. Not to be confused with the term magazine, which is a container that holds ammunition on a ship or a enclosed box which contains ammunition under tension of spring metal, such as inserted into the handle of a pistol.

Clips are used in the M1 Garand rifle, the primary battle weapon of the United States Armed Forces of the WW2 era. The M1 Garand held 8-7.62mm(.30-06) rounds in clips, this was the last rifle in the US arsenal to use clips, modern firearms typically use magazines which better protects the ammunition.
