Wow, they even messed up the title of this movie. They called it "Full Clip" when the correct term is magazine. They aren't the same thing.
Leave it to rappers to completely destroy gun terminology.
Clip is a moniker for magazine... Full Clip also sounds better of the tounge than Full Magazine;
Full (1) Clip (1)
Full (1) Magazine (3)
Snappier title because of the syllables.
but a clip is fundamentally a different thing that a magazine. A clip is a row of bullets held by a small metal piece in the back of the rounds. You then take the clip place it on top of the weapon and slide the bullets in to the magazine. The clip is then completely seperate from the magazine. I believe this is how the M1 Girand is loaded.
I maybe wrong about the girand, does anyone know better than me?
the factuality of the title doesnt matter, because in the end it' just a movie, and as I said before, Full Clip sounds alot better than full magazine.
shareTrue. Calling something the wrong thing because it sounds better has always been the creed of the intelligent and skilled musicians known as rappers.

some terms are interchangeable even when they aren't accurate. like 50 cent always talks about shootin people with shells, when in actuality it's the bullets that hit people and the shells are just the casings. a lot of terms are misused, but understood and therefore accepted. it's all in the game. it's what sounds good and is still understood.

I thought the exact same thing. I saw this sitting in the "for sale" section my video rental store and it bgged the hell out of me. So I came here to correct but you beat me to it.
The Colt M1911A1 .45 ACP is the greatest handgun ever made.
