What is it, a clip or a magazine? A clip is just a thin strip of metal that holds rounds in place. The rifle magazine is a container that encloses the ammunition; in this case a detachable box magazine, and usually equipped with a metal plate and a spring that pushes rounds into the action. But on other guns, the magazine can be an integral part of the gun itself, such as the tube running underneath the barrel on a typical shotgun.

A stripper clip can be used to rapidly load a magazine. So you should state that there's a magazine in the weapon and two stripper clips of ammunition on the dash.

Oh, and they're not bullets, they're cartridges or rounds. "Bullet" refers only to the projectile itself.

I'm sorry if you knew that already; I hope I don't sound condscending, but a lot of people get these terms mixed up.
Yeah....uh...... i knew all that stuff hehe.....but i.....just didnt want to....confuse them? lol...who am i kidding...i had no clue haha.
