Magazines. Magazines include a feeding mechanism, usually a spring. Clips just hold bullets together.

Sort of. Another way of thinking about it. Clips feed magazines, magazines feed guns.

You missed my point. I own guns, know how to operate them, and know the names of the parts. I use magazine and clip interchangeably, because pointless pedantry doesn’t contribute anything to the conversation.

I think you would say the clip is inside the magazine.
