I'm just sick and tired of hear people saying: "The G36E has a good amount of clips"....first of all that weapon system uses NO clips. It is just amazing how people don't know the difference and listen to too many rap songs that call mags clips. So bam, there it is folks, learn it and get it right. Thanks

Its called ammunition, a cartridge, or round, but not a bullet. Unless you're talking about a bullet hitting you, not Hey give me some bullets.....rounds are usually reserved for artillery(may be wrong here, I meant to say that it is SOMETIMES referred to with artillery, oops) so don't use that either....oh and btw i'm not telling anyone to do anything, just giving you all some good advice so you don't sound stupid.

Round is not reserved for artillery. Spend some time at a shooting range and you'll realize this.

The clip is the thingie that has the ammo in it
The magazine is where the clip goes into the gun

Clips are not contained in magazines.

Clips are a single piece of metal which hold the bullets around the groove by the base of the and are slid into internal magazines. The metal piece does not go into the internal magazine; the bullets slid from the piece and it is discarded. This is probably where you were confused, Pernicious544.

Magazines are boxes that contain bullets in them. They are pushed up by a spring and fed into the weapon.

Nah, they are called staples and periodicals.
