A stripper clip also known as a charger or charger clip , especially in British and in Commonwealth military vocabulary is a speedloader that holds several cartridges usually consisting between 5 and 10 rounds together in a single unit for easier and faster loading of a firearm 's magazine. A stripper clip also sometimes referred to as a charger clip is used only for loading the magazine. Generally, a weapon that can use a stripper clip for loading can also be loaded one round at a time, while a weapon designed for an en bloc clip cannot be used without the clip. It is called a 'stripper' clip because, after the bolt is opened and the stripper clip is placed in position generally by placing it in a slot on either the receiver or bolt , the user presses on the cartridges from above, sliding them down and off the clip, thereby 'stripping' them off the stripper clip and into the magazine. Depending on the firearm, magazine, and cartridge, stripper clips come in a variety of shapes, some quite complex, though most are either straight or crescent-shaped pieces of stamped metal—usually brass, steel often blued or parkerized , or plastic. Currently they are used to top-off detachable box magazines for semi-automatic and automatic rifles.
