How Do Stripper Clips Work?

[raptorforce]

so i know how they work like you load them up and push them in into the magazine but how do they get pushed in because the feed lips keep the bullets already in the magazine from coming out so how would they get pushed in?

Brute force?

I think what you are asking is if a lip on the magazine keeps the shells in the magazine, what releases them into the chamber.

The answer is the bolt moving forward takes a shell froward from the clip into the chamber. Here is slow motion video.

oh...yeah, I was a little confused when reading the topic name, please re-word?

the bolt pushes it in the firing tube then pin hits it then cass gets ejected from ejection port.

I think he wants to know why can you just push the bullets in strait down without the bullets coming out. The reason is the bullets get stacked when thier pushed in so the bullets get pushed to the side of the magizine were the mag lip catches the bullet and holds it from poping out but thier is enuf room bettwen the mag lips for you to push the bullets in strait down, the bullet goes to the left or the right cause of the shape of the mag follower (witch cause a chain reaction of sorts causeing each bullet to push each other bullet above it in the opisite direction) witch then when the bullet is pushed up agaisnt the mag spring it gets cought on the mag lips. Hope you understannd that it's hard to explain. The way I explained above is for double stacked mags not single stacked.

[hi]

well my mosin nagant has a cartridge interrupter, which is what prevents them from just all popping out. then when you cycle the bolt it lets one round up. it only lets one round up because that is all there is room for.

Stripper Clips make it much faster to load magazines if you already have stripper clips ready to go.

he was on the right trackand basically answered my question

[nibbler125]

i think he means that he dosent know how the bullets go into the mag- beacuse you cannot normaly push a round straight into it. you need to fit it into a slot then push it under the lips

The best mag to show this with is the M1 Garand clip, which basically works like a double-stack magazine, except that the spring and follower are built into the gun itself. Here you can see how the rounds inside a double-stack magazine are staggered:
