Clip

A Clip is a small piece of metal designed to hold together a number of bullets, allowing them to be loaded quickly into a weapon with one push of the thumb.

This technology was used extensively during World War II instead of Magazines, but has been phased out almost entirely from modern weapons. It appears extremely rarely in ShackTac videos.

Weapons that can use a clip have an opening along the top of the receiver, right over the weapon's internal storage magazine. Placing the clip into this opening and pressing down on the bullets causes them to slide into the weapon's internal storage. This process, while fast, is not as fast as replacing a Magazine, but is still faster than replacing a Belt, or manually loading shells into a Shotgun.

Clips generally hold no more than 10 bullets each, with the most common clips holding either 5 or 8 bullets. Clips can be Repacked just like Magazines. Although in the real world is it possible to easily "top off" a weapon with bullets from a clip, this option is not available in ArmA. Additionally, since ShackTac has not used "weapon jamming" mods for many years, clip-loaded weapons are not less reliable than magazine-loaded weapons (as would be in the real world).

In ShackTac, weapons loaded by Clips include only a few World War II-era Semi-Automatic Rifles such as the American M1 Garand and Japanese Type 99, as well as Bolt-Action Rifles such as the German Kar-98K and British Lee Enfield. No modern weapons use Clips, making this type of ammo container extremely rare in ShackTac videos.
