Yes, a clip is a form of ammunition feeding device .... known colloquially as a magazine, clip, etc ... and was known as such for many, many years just like soda, pop, etc in different areas of the country. This is still acceptable nomenclature in many parts of the world and even this country .... The term is still used interchangeably by many gun manufacturers so if it's good enough for them it's good enough for me to stop chastising people about it from a soap box.

So the next time that someone says clip rather than magazine just shut the **** up and let it pass rather than being a douchebag about it.

"Document Not Found" on the links you provided. Obviously, they realized their error, fired an intern, and will return the page with the proper term "magazine" shortly.
