What do clips hold

You can load ammo into the M1 Garand with en bloc clips from the top or the bottom of the internal magazine. Stripper clips are removed after loading the ammo, but not the en bloc clips. You fully insert the en bloc clips into the magazine, stripping them of the ammunition, as they are loaded into the firearm. When an M1 Garand fires its last round, you hear a sharp, hotel-lobby bell ring. The internal mag pushes rounds through the clip and into the chamber, and the en bloc clip is ejected from the firearm after firing the final cartridge.

They are not exactly magazines, but these concealed carry blasters use clips in a different fashion than rifles. The technical term for the ammunition-storage of a revolver is called a wheel. The revolver ammo cartridge is rimmed and is different from your regular pistol ammo which makes extraction from the chamber easier after firing. The clips are like stars. A half moon clip holds three, while a full moon one holds six rounds, and the clip makes reloading easier.
