Well not exactly... the clip is the thing that holds the bullets together so that they can be easily fed into a Magazine.
for the old FN-C1 that used to be the MBR for the CAF.. ammunition came in boxes of 40 rounds attached to 4 clips.
the 5.56.. I seem to remember came the same way.. and there was a dohicky that fit over the top of the magazine to allow you to load magazines quickly, 3 clips to a Magazine.
It is a common enough mistake to call a magazine a clip...but it does bug people.
