just for fun, I'll mention that in the nearly unique case (as far as rifles adopted by military forces go)of the M1 Garand, the "clip" used to insert 8 rounds at a time was often called a "charger" or "charger clip" to set it aside from most other clips of the era that remained outside the weapon. The garand charger was contained within the weapon until the last round had been fired. The johnson, Mauser(and its 40million variants used by 40million countires), Arisaka, Carcano, M/N91, G41/43, SVT38/40, SMLE, MP/STG44 etc, ALL used clips to load either internal fixed, or removable magazines which remained outside the weapon and its magazine at all times. Also the carcano was a POS and its amazing the Italians lasted as long as they did with it. SVT only slightly less so.
In addition the non-charger clips are also sometimes referred to as "Stripper clips" as one "strips" the rounds off of it into the magazine.
