    please take note that there was NO "owners manual" during their Active time of US military issuance. also note that the "clip" was a completely different military issued item. They didn't come attached to a weapon. they are a separate item to be ordered through the supply guys.

    It is an en bloc clip but I believe the word you are looking for is bandoleer.

    Clip may be an old Hollywood name, sounds familiar to me. Magazine is a name for larger "clips" and newer.
