Message	Think of the M1 Garand. The little rectangle full of .30-06 is the "clip", and you insert it into the internal mag. Likewise, you can get "stripper clips" that hold a row of rounds and let you strip them off into a mag instead of loading them individually. Another example is bullets vs rounds/cartridges.
